Southaven Health Insurance Options

Health insurance Southaven families compare usually comes from five groups. Each one suits a different job, income or timeline. Below is how they work for DeSoto County health plans.

Mississippi Plans on HealthCare.gov

Southaven residents enroll at HealthCare.gov and buy Mississippi plans, even if they work in Tennessee. Every plan covers pre-existing conditions and essential benefits. On top of that, about 95 percent of Mississippi enrollees recently received a tax credit.

Short-Term Plans Through UnitedHealthcare

UnitedHealthcare short-term coverage can bridge a job change or a benefit waiting period. In Mississippi, short-term terms run 1 month to just under 12 months; ask an agent for options. However, it skips ACA rules and may exclude prior conditions. Mississippi has also announced a risk-pool short-term plan, which has not launched.

Compare details on our short-term coverage page, or call 888-730-6001.

Tri-Term Plans Through UnitedHealthcare

UnitedHealthcare tri-term coverage stretches across a longer gap from one application. TriTerm Medical offers nearly 3 years of coverage over three terms with one application; premiums may change. It can suit a healthy self-employed worker who earns too much for credits. Our tri-term guide explains how the three terms work.

Add-Ons for DeSoto County Families

Growing families face dental bills, eye exams and sports injuries. Fortunately, add-ons keep those costs predictable.

Dental and vision coverage for kids and parents
Term life insurance for a new home
Accident plans for youth sports families

Medicaid and CHIP

Mississippi did not expand Medicaid, so most childless adults do not qualify. Still, children's coverage reaches families earning about twice the poverty line. Pregnant women qualify up to about 194 percent of poverty.

What Southaven Coverage Costs

Age, county, tobacco use and plan tier shape your premium. For instance, a family of four can get credits up to about $132,000 a year. Above that, you pay full price.

Southaven Hospitals, Networks and Doctors

Baptist Memorial Hospital-DeSoto anchors health insurance Southaven networks on the Mississippi side. Yet many residents also see specialists in Memphis. Therefore, we check networks on both sides of the state line.

A Mississippi plan may include fewer Tennessee doctors than you expect. As a result, a low premium can hide high out-of-network costs. Ask an agent at 888-730-6001 to test your doctor list.

Baptist Memorial Hospital-DeSoto

This 329-bed hospital is a Level III trauma center in Southaven, with a tower of private rooms. Because it is the city's main hospital, confirm it first.

Methodist Olive Branch Hospital

Methodist runs a smaller hospital in nearby Olive Branch. Similarly, check whether your plan includes it, along with any Methodist doctors in Memphis.

Memphis Specialists

Complex care often means a trip to Memphis hospitals. So confirm each Tennessee specialist by plan name, not just the system. In addition, ask whether referrals are required for out-of-state visits.

Test Your Doctor List

Search every name on our provider lookup tools. After that, read how networks affect your costs. Then call 888-730-6001 so we can line up health insurance Southaven plans with your doctors.

Health Insurance Southaven Workers Need

Many Southaven residents work for Memphis employers, while others staff local stores, warehouses and the hospital. Even so, many need health insurance Southaven employers do not provide. Drivers, contractors and part-time retail staff often buy DeSoto County coverage alone.

Each situation points to a different plan. Walk through yours with an agent at 888-730-6001.

Memphis Commuters Between Jobs

A Tennessee layoff still opens a 60-day window to buy a Mississippi plan. Our guide to coverage between jobs compares COBRA and Marketplace costs.

Freight and Warehouse Workers

The I-55 and I-69 corridor runs right through Southaven. Drivers can read our truck driver coverage guide.

Retail and Event Staff

Tanger Outlets, Southaven Towne Center and the Landers Center create hourly jobs. Our part-time worker guide shows what lower hours unlock.

Young Families

Southaven roughly tripled its population in about two decades, and many households have young kids. Weekend baseball at Snowden Grove keeps many families busy. Our family health insurance cost guide helps parents budget.

Health Insurance Southaven FAQs

These health insurance Southaven answers cover what DeSoto County callers ask most. Mississippi-wide questions are handled in our Mississippi coverage questions library. You can also call 888-730-6001 on weekdays.

I work in Memphis. Can I buy a Tennessee plan?

No. You buy coverage in the state where you live, so Southaven residents buy Mississippi plans. However, some plans include Memphis providers, so check yours.

Will my Mississippi plan cover my Memphis specialist?

Maybe. Networks vary, so confirm each specialist by plan name before you enroll.

My Molina plan is ending. What should I do?

Choose a replacement by December 15 for coverage on January 1. Otherwise, HealthCare.gov may pick a similar plan that skips your doctors.

My Tennessee employer's coverage ended. Do I still get a special window?

Yes. Losing job coverage opens a 60-day window, no matter where the employer sits. Keep the employer's termination letter, since HealthCare.gov may ask for proof.

Does Mississippi's coverage gap affect Southaven adults?

It can. Adults without children who earn under the poverty line often get neither Medicaid nor credits. Tennessee did not expand Medicaid either, so moving across the line does not solve it.

Can my kids get CHIP?

Many can, with family income up to about twice the poverty line. Apply through the Mississippi Division of Medicaid.

Which hours does Vivna keep in Central time?

Agents take calls weekdays from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Central. Online requests sent later get answered the next business day.
