Cover Florida Health Insurance
Many Floridians have gone without access to Florida Health Insurance coverage. To correct market failures, Florida Governor Charlie Crist in his 2008 legislative session launched the Cover Florida Health Care Access Program. Two goals of this program are to offer affordable health coverage (i.e., 150.00 or less per month), and to guarantee the plans will be accessible. That is, cover those individuals with pre-existing health conditions who might otherwise be excluded from competing health insurance policies.
The final result has produced a number of new health insurance choices. These limited benefit health plans are being offered by a number of insurance companies. At Peoples Health Insurance, LLC, you can apply for a United Healthcare plan. Policies are available for most Florida residents and provide many important benefits such as catastrophic or preventative care. In order to qualify for a United Healthcare Cover Florida health plan, applicants must first determine their eligibility by meeting some straightforward criteria. That is:a. Applicants need to fall between the ages of 19 and 64
b. Legally reside in the state of Florida
c. Must have been without health insurance coverage for at least six months (exceptions do apply)
d. Cannot qualify for public health insurance (e.g., Medicaid or Medicare)
