The Ohio Farm Bureau Health Plans are for individuals and families who may lack access to an employer-sponsored health plan or those who are looking to possibly save money on a health plan that better fits their needs. Ohio Farm Bureau Health Plans could be a good fit for those who are self-employed or part of farm households.
Ohio Farm Bureau Health Plans will be available this fall with plans going in effect Jan. 1, 2026. To be placed on a list to be notified when the plans launch, sign up at ohiofarmbureauhealthplans.org. Additional questions can be sent to Trevor Kirkpatrick at [email protected]. Ohio Farm Bureau Health Plans are not insurance and are not regulated as insurance under Ohio law.
