Health insurance in Cincinnati Ohio is available through the largest health care companies. Low cost rates in Cincinnati are offered by Medical Mutual Of Ohio, Anthem Blue Cross, UnitedHealthOne, Aetna and Humana. Prices in Southwestern Ohio have historically been lower than other parts of the state, mainly due to lower physician office visit charges and lower hospital room and board rates.
Cincinnati health insurance plans feature comprehensive, catastrophic, temporary short-term and HSA coverages. Premiums are typically 10%-15% lower than many other parts of Ohio and a wide selection of deductibles and coinsurance options is available. Individual and family health care applications are generally approved in less than two weeks. For persons that have major health problems, “Ohio Open Enrollment” through the Ohio Department of Insurance is available. Another option is the newly created “Ohio Risk Pool,” although many requirements must be met before coverage is approved, including having no in-force insurance for the last six months.
