This Area is for people that cannot obtain or afford traditional medical insurance:


Many people find themselves unable to get or afford traditional health insurance due to financial, existing and/or previous medical conditions. . We believe that traditional insurance is a better idea than any of these plans, but that may not be available to you. For those people we offer and suggest four options to choose from. Not all options are available to each person.

  • If you are a Student- - For College and Grad Students to age 64 - Fortis offers a student major medical plan with no health questions. You must be enrolled and take at least 9 hours with an accredited college. There is a preexisting condition clause of 12 months. To see the plan, get a quote, or apply online, click here.
    • Pro: Ease to get, low cost, can keep after graduation.
    • Con: No Rx coverage.

  • Can't afford traditional coverage- There is no good time to be uninsured, but today, it's not reasonable to have nothing. If your choice is paying your bills to live, or having insurance, a reasonable person chooses to not to be insured. For those people we offer a discount card that can save you 40% or more on hospital and/or physician charges. By having this card, you get reduced pricing from nearly 500,000 providers for about $30 per month. The Careington TotalCare plan offers discounted care on medical, dental and vision from preferred providers. It is not necessary to purchase these discount plans if you already have insurance.

  • Can't get traditional insurance because of medical history - We now offer a very unique insurance plan that we can offer to most people regardless of medical history.
    The MIRAMAR plan, a hospital/surgical plan combines an indemnity insurance plan that pays a fixed schedule of benefits for hospital stays, office visits, ER visits, surgery, intensive care, accidental injury, as well as one of the most progressive drug discount plans available. There are even benefits for maternity. The insurance payments are combined with a PPO discount plan from PHCS, the Careington Dental/vision plan. There is a 12 month preexisting condition clause for any condition mentioned on the application, but that would not apply to any discounts that you are entitled to from the preferred network. The Drug card offers preferred pricing at pharmacies, but the mail order plan, administered in the United States, purchases drugs in Canada. This can save you hundreds of dollars per month alone. For example, 100 tablets of Prilosec is about $120 through the mail order, versus $375 at the pharmacy. The only decline questions are if you are disabled or are HIV+. The plan is fully insured from Assurity Inc., (AM Best rating: A-). No difference in rates based on age, gender or health. Cost is about $150 per month for a single, up to about $360 per month, for a family. Available in most states.
