What Health Insurance Options Are Available in Bloomington?

Health insurance isn’t one-size-fits-all, especially here in Bloomington. You have several types of plans to consider:

Individual and Family Health Insurance

This is everyday coverage for people and families without employer insurance. You get care for doctor visits, hospital stays, prescriptions, and preventive services. It’s designed for people buying their own plan rather than through work.

Short‑Term Health Insurance

A temporary solution when you’re between jobs, waiting for other coverage, or need protection for a short period.

Medicare Supplement Plans

If you’re 65 or older and on Medicare Part A and B, supplement plans help cover what Medicare doesn’t. They can help with copays, coinsurance, and deductibles.

ACA / Marketplace Health Insurance

Minnesota has its own marketplace called MNsure, where you can compare plans and see if you qualify for financial help. Many Bloomington residents find savings through tax credits or MinnesotaCare.

Dental and Vision Insurance

Standalone plans for routine dental work and vision care that may not be included in your main health plan.

Supplemental Health Coverage

Options like Critical Illness, Accident, and Hospital Indemnity can give extra support when unexpected medical costs happen.

Enrollment Assistance

We’ll help you compare plans, check eligibility, and complete enrollment either online or by phone. We cut through the confusing stuff so you don’t have to struggle alone.

How Health Insurance Works — Plain and Simple

Here’s how the key pieces fit together:

Premiums

This is what you pay each month for coverage.

Deductibles

You pay this amount before most insurance kicks in. Plans with lower monthly premiums usually have higher deductibles.

Coverage & Benefits

Plans cover different things: doctor visits, prescriptions, mental health care, preventive care, and more.

Networks

Insurance has provider networks. If your doctor or clinic is in‑network, you usually pay less. Out‑of‑network care usually costs more.

HSAs & FSAs

Health Savings Accounts (HSA) and Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) let you put aside money tax‑free for medical costs.

• Blue Cross Blue Shield plans (including options like Blue Plus Minnesota Value)
