The Idaho Insurance Exchange (Marketplace) is called Your Health Idaho. The Idaho Insurance Marketplace is administered by the State of Idaho.
General information about the Idaho Insurance Marketplace can be found at: http://www.yourhealthidaho.org/.
PATIENTS
The Idaho Insurance Marketplace is essentially a marketplace for individuals and small businesses with up to 100 employees to shop for health insurance if they do not already have insurance coverage from another source. If they have insurance from another source (such as employment, retirement benefits, or spousal benefits), they do not need to obtain it from the Marketplace.
HIV PROVIDERS
Providers must contract with each of the plans in the marketplace individually in order to fully participate in the Idaho Insurance Marketplace.
This process is similar to enrolling in insurance or managed care organization provider networks. See below for a list of insurers participating in the state marketplace, and information on contacting them.
As an HIV provider, you may qualify for the designation, of an “Essential Community Provider (ECP).” The Qualified Health Plans participating in the Insurance Exchange (Marketplace) are required to contract with a minimum number of ECPs and Specialists to ensure network adequacy.
Visit our Provider Resources Section for more specific instructions to assist you in contacting health plans.
