How is this different from switching from employer insurance and switching from ACA?

Our employer insurance guide covers the leave-W-2. Our switching from ACA guide covers the marketplace. Our COBRA alternative guide covers continuation. This page is the Medicaid-leave question. Individual shares run $114–$320 per month. This page links to Zion HealthShare. Confirm the published guidelines before you join.

Does Zion HealthShare replace Medicaid or an ACA plan?

No. Zion HealthShare is a secular sharing ministry, not a Medicaid or marketplace plan. Individual shares run $114–$320 per month. There is no state guaranty fund. You can enroll with Zion HealthShare from this page. Sharing is never guaranteed.

What happens to pre-existing conditions after I leave Medicaid?

Zion HealthShare phases most pre-existing needs over four years. Day-one carve-outs are managed high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and type 1 and type 2 diabetes when the hospitalization look-back is clear. Individual shares run $114–$320 per month. You can enroll with Zion HealthShare from this page.

Should I pick Medi-Share instead of Zion HealthShare after leaving Medicaid?

Only if you will sign a Christian statement. Medi-Share individual shares run $115–$470 per month. You can enroll with Zion HealthShare because the Medicaid-leave query does not name a Christian plan from this page. Christian Healthcare Ministries and Samaritan Ministries are never the winner.
