InHealth Mutual Insurer 

InHealth Mutual (IHM) is the new Consumer Operated and Oriented Plan (CO-OP) offering insurance coverage options for small groups, individuals and families throughout Ohio. Our mission as a nonprofit insurer built for members by members, is to provide quality, affordable health insurance that is responsive to the needs and wants of Ohioans. CO-OPs were created by the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) of 2010.

In order to obtain the proper level of coverage, you must understand how health insurance works. This article explores some of the fundamental concepts that govern the health insurance industry, as well as some of the most common sources of health coverage. Our goal is to ease the burden as you learn more about health coverage options and research different insurance policies. For more information, click here.
