Choose the Ohio program that matches your coverage

Ohio does not run a separate state Marketplace. Use HealthCare.gov for private individual or family plans and any Marketplace financial help. Use Ohio's own public benefit system for Medicaid and children's coverage.

What to compare before choosing an Ohio plan

Check whether your doctors, hospitals, and prescriptions are covered.
Compare the full yearly cost, not only the monthly premium.
Confirm whether the plan works where you live and where you expect to receive care.
Use the current official application to find financial help rather than relying on an old income chart.

If Medicare is part of the decision

Marketplace coverage and Medicare follow different rules. Start with our Medicare basics guide, then use Ohio's OSHIIP counseling service for help with Ohio plan choices.

The Ohio Senior Health Insurance Information Program, called OSHIIP, provides free Medicare information and counseling through the Ohio Department of Insurance.

Who handles health insurance complaints in Ohio?
