We’re making getting the care you need more convenient and accessible than ever. Everyone on the Antidote Health insurance plans will have a virtual PCP.

What are individual and family health insurance?

Individual and family health insurance are types of health coverage that individuals and families can purchase to help cover medical expenses.

These policies are typically purchased outside of employer-sponsored plans and you can sign up during open enrollment or if you experience a qualifying life event, such as losing your health insurance coverage.

As the names imply, individual coverage is only for one person, while family coverage is for an entire, immediate family, including, in some cases, adult children up to age 26.

When can I enroll in a health insurance plan?

You can enroll between November 1, 2023 and December 31, 2023. Qualifying life events such as marriage, birth of a child, or loss of other coverage, may qualify you for a Special Enrollment Period outside of these open enrollment dates.

How do I get a referral?

What is prior authorization?

Prior authorization helps prevent unnecessary procedures or tests, ultimately keeping healthcare costs in check for both the HMO and its members. The process involves your clinician seeking approval from the healthcare plan before specific medical services or treatments are covered. Your clinician plays a pivotal role in determining the medical necessity and appropriateness of these services, ensuring that you receive the best, most cost-effective healthcare possible within the HMO's guidelines. It's essential to collaborate closely with your clinician to navigate the prior authorization process effectively.
