Private Health Insurance?
Private insurance plans are owned by the enrolled member/policy holder. These plans are elective, they can offer permanent or temporary health coverage to individuals, families, or employees. The available products include: Traditional Major Medical/Commercial, Indemnity insurance, short-term insurance, Health-share/Christian based insurance plans, Medicaid, and Discount Plans.
Why choose Kentuckiana Insurance
We begin by listening. What’s your current health status? Are you eligible for subsidies or other coverage options under the Affordable Care Act (ACA)? Do you prefer a PPO or HMO structure? Would you rather pay more in monthly premiums for lower out-of-pocket costs down the road, or vice versa?
These are the conversations that guide our recommendations. Private insurance comes in many shapes: comprehensive ACA-compliant plans, catastrophic coverage, short-term medical, or individual health insurance options for those who don’t qualify for Medicaid or Medicare. We also help with family health insurance, high-deductible health plans (HDHPs), and cost-sharing arrangements like health care sharing ministries.
Private health insurance is provided by private insurance companies, not government-run programs. You pay a monthly premium, and in return, you receive coverage for medical services outlined in your plan. This may include doctor visits, emergency care, hospitalization, lab tests, and virtual care, depending on the plan’s benefits.
Start by reviewing your typical health care costs, current prescriptions, and provider preferences. Then, consider your budget for deductibles, copays, and coinsurance. We walk you through plan options, explain in-network provider access, and clarify differences in plan types like PPO, HMO, and EPO. We also help clients take advantage of open enrollment and special enrollment periods triggered by life changes.
If you qualify for subsidies through KyNect, your monthly cost can be significantly reduced. With the right plan and financial assistance, many Kentuckians pay less than $200 per month. Others might choose off-marketplace options from private health insurance companies for broader networks or specific benefits.
In general, prices can range from $100/month for a plan, to over $1,000/month for a comprehensive family plan. Some of the determining factors for rates and plans; Age, health history, area, subsidized vs non-subsidized, and cost-sharing preferences. Our job is to shop those numbers for you and find the best balance between coverage and cost.
We can help you apply through Kentucky’s private health insurance system or the state ran system KyNect, depending on your eligibility and preferences. We also work with clients in Ohio and Indiana looking for individual or group health insurance solutions.

Deductible: What you pay out-of-pocket before your insurance begins covering services
Copay: A fixed amount you pay for specific services, like a doctor’s visit
Coinsurance: The percentage you pay after meeting your deductible
Out-of-pocket costs: All expenses you pay outside your premium
Subsidies: Government assistance to reduce monthly premiums for qualifying applicants
Cost-sharing: The portion of the medical expenses the patient is liable for, after health insurance approves and pays their part. This can be determined by, but is not limited to, the plan deductible, coinsurance, copays, and/or annual out of pocket maximum.
Network: This determines what doctors and hospitals participate with your health insurance plan. Some plans offer cost-sharing for doctors and hospitals that aren’t on your network list, but some do not, it is important to know the plan’s network.
Which Is Better?
ACA health plans must provide coverage according to government regulations. That includes providing coverage for maternity and newborn care, preventive care, mental health, substance use care, and other health benefits.
Private plans don’t adhere to these standards because the Affordable Care Act does not regulate them. The lack of regulation is why temporary plans offer less coverage and vary from provider to provider. To ensure a temporary plan provides enough coverage, read the insurer’s exclusions and limitations before buying.
Also, unlike ACA plans that are guaranteed-issue, Private health insurance plans are not. That means you may not get coverage for preexisting conditions. The insurer will ask several medical questions to verify the state of your health before accepting to cover you.
Because of its limitations, Private health insurance is not a long-term substitute for traditional health insurance. Only opt for it when you need fast, flexible, temporary health coverage until you can get better insurance.
