Commercial Plans

There are a variety of commercial insurance products available to individuals and families who pass the Washington State health screening. The tools below are designed to help you evaluate the options for commercial health insurance.

  • Shopping for Individual Health Care Coverage (pdf)
    Lists all the insurance plans offered in the state of Washington, as well as a comparison chart of costs.  This is an unbiased publication from the Office of the Insurance Commissioner.

  • Side-by-Side Comparison Worksheet (pdf)
    What to look at when choosing which commercial insurance plan to buy.

  • Health Savings Accounts
    Another way to pay for healthcare is by using a combination of a catastrophic insurance and a tax sheltered Health Savings Account (HSA).

If you do not pass the health screening you can get coverage through the Washington State Health Insurance Pool (WSHIP).

  • Health Screening for WSHIP (pdf)
    See page 3 for an explanation of the health screening questionaire that people must pass to buy commercial insurance. For those who do not pass, WSHIP is an option.

  • WA State Health Insurance Pool (WSHIP)
    Read about these insurance options for people who have not passed the health screening questionaire.

  • WSHIP Premiums
    Premiums for each program, including discounts and subsidies
