Health Coverage 101: Get Smart and Get Covered

Health coverage is important for everyone, so be sure you are covered for life’s surprises. Coverage is probably more affordable than you think and applying for coverage is fast and super easy. There’s also local help available so you can focus on more important things, like studying for your exams or finishing up that paper that’s due tomorrow! Students or other young adults who are not tax dependents of their parents may apply and enroll on their own for health coverage through QHPs or Medicaid.

Hello students! Welcome to your gateway to health coverage.

The Kentucky Health Benefit Exchange provides support and resources for Kentuckians to enroll in health coverage and learn what financial assistance they may be eligible for. Within every county in the Commonwealth, KHBE can connect Kentuckians to kynectors or insurance agents in their communities who can help complete applications and find affordable, quality health coverage including Qualified Health Plans or Medicaid coverage.

Not sure what to apply for? No problem, our kynectors are here to help.
