Ohio Farm Bureau Health Plans

Applications for Ohio Farm Bureau’s new Health Plans are available now for individuals and families who need affordable, reliable care—without relying on employer-sponsored coverage.

Members have three ways to apply: contacting a certified agent, calling 833-468-4280 or visiting ohiofarmbureauhealthplans.org.

“Whether you’re self-employed, between jobs, or simply looking for a better option, this plan offers a practical, accessible path to quality health care,” said Trevor Kirkpatrick, director of health services for Ohio Farm Bureau. “It’s designed to ease the burden of rising health care costs for individuals and families while providing the protection you deserve.” 

Ohio Farm Bureau has partnered with Tennessee Farm Bureau’s Farm Bureau Health Plans to offer the coverage. Farm Bureau Health Plans already works with several other state Farm Bureaus offering similar health plans and has provided coverage for Farm Bureau members since 1947.

Members of Ohio Farm Bureau have advocated for health care policy for several years, culminating in Gov. Mike DeWine signing legislation this summer paving the way for the creation of Ohio Farm Bureau Health Plans.

The plans for individuals and families are designed specifically for self-employed individuals, farm families, and rural Ohioans who need affordable health coverage.

To be eligible, those who apply must be an Ohio Farm Bureau member and meet certain medical underwriting requirements, which include a basic health screening, and be ages 64 and under. Non-members can ask for a “quick quote.”

Get started by visiting ohiofarmbureauhealthplans.org today. Coverage begins Jan. 1, 2026 for those who successfully complete the application and enrollment process. 

Ohio Farm Bureau Health Plans, which are a new service to Farm Bureau members, will be offered to members in conjunction with the Ohio Farm Bureau Health Benefits Plan, which focuses on helping small businesses provide health care plans to their employees.

Learn more about Ohio Farm Bureau Health Plans at an upcoming webinar Nov. 25 at 6 p.m. Visit ofb.ag/healthplanswebinars to register.

New and beginning farmers
My first recommendation in your journey is to start out with a local farming friend or mentor along with joining an organization like Ohio Farm Bureau.

Growing Tomorrow Grant
We’re just so thankful for the Farm Bureau and the foundation for helping put this together. And of course, the Boyert family for the vision they had with this grant. It’s jumping us forward 10 years. It’s unbelievable.

Giving farmers a voice
The issue of property taxation remains as one of the biggest challenges our members face today. Ensuring agricultural property is valued for its agricultural potential and not development is critical to the continued success of Ohio agriculture.

Select Partner Program
Through the Select Partner program, we became educated in farm insurance and weren't just selling policies. It became more and more clear why farmers need an advocate like Ohio Farm Bureau.

Advocacy
So many of the issues that OFBF and its members are advocating for are important to all Ohioans. I look at OFBF as an agricultural watchdog advocating for farmers and rural communities across Ohio.
