Have you checked with any house painter organizations (if any exist)? Sometimes they can provide group health insurance. One word of caution, though. There is debate about the value of association health plans (those you might see with a professional organization). On one hand these plans are less expensive than individual coverage and people with pre-existing conditions are more likely to be accepted than if they tried to apply for insurance on their own. On the other hand, some critics say that association health plan benefits are so watered down that you are better off paying more for a private plan (if you can afford it).\n\nYou might also contact your state insurance department to see if you might be eligible for group health insurance as a “group of one.” Some states expand access to group health insurance to self-employed individuals with no employees. I’ve included links below to state insurance departments and to a listing of state health guides that should explain whether “groups of one” coverage exists in your state.\n\nIf you’d like to talk to local insurance agents and compare health plans online, try MostChoice.com. It’s a fast, no-obligation way to explore the local health insurance market; you might find that health insurance is more affordable than you think. If not, that will make you more confident in your pursuit of alternative options.\n\nYou can find MostChoice here: http://www.mostchoice.com/health-insurance.cfm\n\nHope this helps,\nBarnes@MostChoice

Your best bet is to check with an independent agent in your area.  They have access to a number of different companies and can shop it around for you.  All the previously mentioned companies here specialize in personal lines insurance.  Your rate is going to depend on a number of different factors including where the business is located, years of experience, how much coverage you need etc.

A number of companies will exclude pre-existing conditions for the first year and cover them after that.  The best thing to do is shop around.  Try Golden Rule.  They have a pretty good price.  Try getting a plan with a Health Savings Account attached.  Part of your money pays for the insurance and part goes into a cheking account that you can use to pay for any medical expenses.

I have used employee care at Miami Valley Hosp. I would suggest you look into either your employer or your spouse's. Many offer counseling services as an employee benefit. Some health insurance plans offer mental health care (counseling) as part of the ihealth plan. Good luck

Try a local agent that sells homeowners insurance.  Here is a good directory:  http://www.insuremyhouse.com\nI would avoid online quote programs.  You end up without an agent that can help you if you have problems later.

I agree that more information about your current and previous condition will make it easier to explore health insurance possibilities. If you live in the United States and were part of a group health plan, you might be able to take advantage of protections offered by the 1996 Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). If you were part of a group health plan in the past two months, then a new health plan may not be able to deny you coverage because of your illness. Further, any time you were under the old group plan will be deducted from a new plan’s waiting period.\n\nHIPAA also limits how far back an insurance company can look-back for a pre-existing condition, in most cases. They shouldn’t deny you coverage because of a hospitalization five years ago. You might want to look into high-risk insurance pools – where people who have been denied coverage band together to get breaks on health insurance.\n\nThe best way to find the answers you need is to talk with local qualified health insurance agents. Chances are, they’ve fielded the questions you have about insurance and have helped people in your exact situation. MostChoice.com is an excellent way to reach state-licensed agents in your area. There’s no cost or obligation to you, and you can also look at health plans and prices from companies like Blue Cross Blue Shield, Humana, and Aetna. \n\nYou can find it here: http://www.mostchoice.com/health-insurance.cfm\n\nGood luck,\n\nBarnes@MostChoice.com

You will have to self insure, which is quite expensive.  I would call around and get some quotes.

I'm an agent for Combined Insurance and I think it offers the best of both worlds, entrepreneurial and employment. It's 100% commissioned, so you are paid exactly what you are worth (just like owning your own business). But it also offers benefits, training, merit-based promotion, and the power of a Fortune 500 company backing the products. If you like, I could check into opportunities in your area.

If you are looking for group dental there are a lot of companies that offer coverage including Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield.  \n\nHowever, if you are looking for individual coverage, the only company approved by the Connecticut Department of Insurance that offers dental is Aetna.  The current cost is $15 per month.  The coverage cannot be purchased separately from your health insurance.  You will need to purchase your individual health insurance from them in order to qualify.\n\nSee below for information on Aetna policies.  There are links to downloadable brochures that explain the policies at the bottom of the page.

Did you get the plan from work? Well then ask this your HR manager. If you are buying on your own, I'd rather suggest\na plan with no elimination or waiting periods, like eHealthPlus.

You can pay a premium for any health care provider if you have the income. It will be cheaper if you can buy the insurance as part of a group. You can usually join the local Chamber of Commerce and get group rates from HMOs and other insurers for your area or, if that is not available, join the Small Business Service Bureau and get the same group rates.                http://www.sbsb.com/\n\nThere are many "health insurance" sites on the web, but they are not really health insurance. They are discounters, who try to get service providers to offer the same rates they get from insurers, but you have to pay first and maybe get a rebate, or you have a large deductible. It does not usually cover much for hospitalization or specialists.\n\nYour state may have a subsidy available for small businesses to pay part of the premium. You'll have to go to your state's web site and look for the health insurance information.

If you are interested in businesses using your services (not sure if you meant business or personal--just "insurance" is kind of vague --lot to choose from there! Agent? Adjuster? Broker? etc...), you need to make sure that they get to know your name and face. Visit often...Take them a basket of home-baked goodies along with some business cards. Send birthday and holiday cards to business owners you are trying to "woo". Gain their friendship AND their trust. You'd be surprised how much business you can get for yourself, using a little bit of old-fashioned values!\nThere are also some great networking groups (nationwide!) that you can join...some are free and others have a membership fee that varies --check with your local Chamber of Commerce and they should be able to point you in the right direction.\nWhatever you choose to do, I wish you much business and the best of luck!
