Farm Bureau Law Means Cost Sharing for Health Coverage

 

The Farm Bureau Bill which is now officially Kansas law, is allowing current and future members health coverage as an alternative to Obamacare. Our local Farm Bureau agent in Coffeyville, Heath Higbie, tells us what to expect.

 

 

Agent Higbie said anyone in Kansas may become a member, and the cost for an entire household is only $50 (children under the age of 23 are included). It is actually not "insurance" but is like a cooperative, cost sharing program. It will not cover pre-existing conditions, but it WILL cover conditions that are NOT pre-existing.

 

KGGF will keep you posted as updates as the Kansas Farm Bureau is structuring the rates and details. Members will be able to apply for participation in the coverage as we get closer to November, coinciding with renewals for The Affordable Care Act.

 

January 1st of 2020 will be the effective date of coverage. If you'd like more information or to apply for membership, call your local Farm Bureau agent, such as Coffeyville's Heath Higbie whose number is 620-251-6597 or drop by 113 W. 7th St.
