What Is A State Based Health Insurance Exchange?

LAS VEGAS - Feb. 18, 2022 - PRLog -- Whether you're looking for health insurance for yourself or your family, you may become familiar with our website Nevada Health Link. This is the only place to go where you can get government assistance to help you pay for your health insurance in Nevada.

In most cases, when someone is talking about state-based health insurance, they're referring to a health insurance plan that is regulated by the Department of Insurance in that state. These plans are sold through state health insurance exchanges.  Another viable option is enrolling directly with the health insurance carriers without getting a government subsidy with the help of brokers and agents.

State-Based Health Insurance Exchanges And The Affordable Care Act
In 2010, when the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, states were given the option of choosing whether they wanted to establish their own state-based health insurance exchanges or whether residents would instead obtain health insurance through the federally run platform, known as HealthCare.gov.

Some states already had their own exchanges and decided to simply continue making health insurance accessible to residents that way. While others switched from their own exchange to the federal exchange.

State-based health insurance exchanges come with a lot of benefits to residents. For example, in some states, insurers have to meet coverage and rate requirements for their plans to be sold on the state exchange, ensuring that residents have access to better coverage. In some cases, states may even give priority to health insurance companies that offer benefits that align with the overall health needs of the state. Using the federal portal Healthcare.gov is more expensive than using our own State Based Exchange too.
