The way health insurance is being marketed, it may give you the wrong impression that Nevada Health Link is the ONLY place to buy health insurance these days, but that is NOT the case. You can continue to buy your health insurance from the same agents and agencies you’ve always bought your health insurance from.
It is true, however, that Nevada Health Link’s website is the only website you can go to get your health insurance “subsidized”. This means the Government helps pay for your health insurance policy.
To use an analogy, if Nevada Health Link were an auto sales website, you could go to their Government website and purchase your Toyota, Ford, Chevy, Honda, etc. You would be buying with a “subsidy” which means the Government helps you pay for your Toyota, Ford, Chevy, Honda, etc., as long as your income falls within a certain percentage and you qualify. The Government will then help contribute each month towards the payment of your new car (or in this case, your health insurance policy).
Continuing with our analogy, you can, however, continue to buy your Toyota, Ford, Chevy, Honda, etc., from a real person, who lives in Las Vegas, and will help guide you. This AGENT, can sell both ON or OFF Exchange, which means they can help you purchase health insurance WITH or WITHOUT a Government subsidy. You would go directly to the dealership and buy your vehicle, or better yet, have a local health insurance agent guide you (who knows all the health plan coverages, their networks, hospitals, doctors, and drug formularies etc.).
OK, let’s leave the auto dealership analogy and get back to the real world.
You can buy your health plans from the same places you’ve always bought health insurance and continue to enjoy the friendly, knowledgeable assistance an experienced local health insurance agent provides. Using a resource like this website, NevadaInsuranceEnrollment.com, you have the ability to shop for a variety of insurance options, receive help from our agents to enroll into your government subsidized health plan or unsubsidized health plan, and choose the best health insurance policy that will suit your personal and financial needs. All at NO additional cost. The service the agent provides is FREE!
A deductible is an amount you pay before the Insurance Company starts paying. Health insurance plans will have different deductibles. You’ll be expected to pay the whole medical bill out of your own pocket until you’ve paid your deductible.

To be fair, in recent years, health insurance companies have made strides towards transparency. If you have an ACA-compliant plan, there are many services that your health insurance is legally required to cover, taking some of the guesswork out of budgeting for health expenses.
Your out-of-pocket maximum is the most you’ll have to pay for covered services in a policy period (one year), each January 1st it starts over again, and that includes cost of medications too. After you reach this amount, your health insurance plan will pay 100%.
