Health insurance

If you have a small business (1-50 employees), you're not required to offer your employees health insurance. If you choose to offer it, you might qualify for tax credits.

For information about the benefits in small business health plans and their current rates, contact the company directly.

It's important to understand out who regulates your health plan so you know your rights and which laws your plan's appeal process follows.

Do you need help paying for health care? There are insurance plans and programs that may be available for you.

A direct health care practice is a medical provider that charges you a monthly fee for unlimited access to doctors for primary care. 

Some diseases and disabilities have organizations and additional resources to provide support and financial help.

If you need help paying for vision and hearing services, there are non-profit organizations that might be able to help.

If you qualify, some health clinics offer free or low-cost care. In addition, all hospitals have similar programs to help you pay for health care.

There are free programs to help you pay less for prescriptions your health plan might not cover.

We have provided a list of health care organizations, programs, and services available in Washington state.
