Health insurance for travel nurses.
Agency coverage gaps between contracts are the norm, not the exception. A nationwide PPO keeps you covered across state lines and between assignments.
- Pre-existing conditions covered
- Enroll any day of the year
- A licensed advisor, no pressure
- No cost to talk it through
Step 1 of 5
Let's find your coverage
Start with your state.
Plans from nationally recognized carriers
Carriers include UnitedHealthcare, Aetna, Cigna, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Humana, Anthem, Allstate Health, Oscar.
What a private PPO can do that most plans can't.
Pre-existing conditions covered
An advisor tells you straight which plans will take your health history.
Enroll any day of the year
No six-week window. Coverage can start when you need it to.
Broad nationwide PPO networks
Keep your own doctor in most cases and stay covered across state lines.
Never sold to third parties
Your details stay with us and are never resold.
What usually goes wrong
Contracts end, states change, and coverage has to follow you. Most people in your situation land on the marketplace, see an unsubsidized bronze premium around $750 a month with a deductible north of $5,000, and conclude that health coverage simply isn't affordable. That conclusion is often wrong — it's just that nobody showed you the other shelf.
Private PPO plans sit outside the marketplace. They're medically underwritten, which means not everyone is approved, and they aren't subsidized. What they offer in exchange is a materially lower premium, a broad nationwide network, and no enrollment window to wait for.
What a private PPO gives you
- Pre-existing conditions covered
- Enroll any day of the year — no six-week window
- Broad nationwide PPO networks
- Keep your own doctor in most cases
- Your details are never sold to third parties
And the honest caveat: if you qualify for Medicaid or a significant ACA subsidy, that will beat this. Your advisor will say so rather than sell around it.
Three things travel nurses should check first.
- 01
Coverage across states
A local HMO stops being useful the moment your next contract is two states away. A nationwide PPO network travels with you.
- 02
Gaps between contracts
Agency coverage often ends with the assignment. A plan you own yourself doesn't lapse when a contract does.
- 03
Your tax home
Plan availability follows your legal residence. Be clear on which state that is before you apply.
Straight answers for travel nurses.
Why not just use my agency's plan?
You can, but it's usually tied to the assignment. Gaps between contracts, waiting periods and changing agencies all interrupt it.
Can I see doctors in the state I'm working in?
With a broad PPO, generally yes. Check how the plan handles care outside your home state before you sign.
What if I take a staff job later?
Private plans don't lock you in. You can drop the plan when employer coverage starts.
