Why get insured?

Health plans

Enrolling in health insurance can provide peace of mind by helping you save money on health care costs. Your insurance policy or “plan” requires a small premium paid each month, but with it, you can save big if the unexpected happens.

A doctor or hospital visit, when you’re uninsured, can lead to you paying full-price that can really add up. But thanks to the Affordable Care Act (ACA), there are more plans available than ever — and it’s possible to get coverage for a monthly premium of $1 or less depending on your ZIP code and income level.

Stride helps you shop for and enroll in the best coverage for your specific needs, and as an official partner of HealthCare.gov, they offer all the same plans at the same low prices.

FAQs

Can I sign up at any time of the year?

Typically, you have to wait until Open Enrollment from November 1 to January 15 each year. However, if you have a Qualifying Life Event, such as getting married, having a baby, or starting a new job, you may be able to get coverage outside of the Open Enrollment period.

Do I qualify for a government program or tax credits?

Depending on where you live, you can either fill out an application on Stride’s website to find out, or Stride will direct you to your state’s website to see if you qualify.

Can I get coverage for my family?
Yes! You can choose a plan that best meets your family’s needs.

Dental plans

Affordable dental plans (some for as little as $20/month) can provide free dental exams, cleanings and x-rays twice a year if you visit an in-network dentist. Plus, it can help pay for everything from implants and sealants to more extensive procedures like cavity fillings and root canals. These savings can add up, especially since a routine dental exam typically costs $200 out of pocket, and root canals can cost as much as $2,500!

FAQs

Can I sign up at any time of the year?
Yes, if it’s your first time signing up for a dental plan! If you’re looking to renew or replace your plan though, you typically need to wait about a month before your plan’s renewal date.

Can I get coverage for my family?
Yes, you can get it for the whole family or just those who need it.

Can I keep seeing my regular dentist if I get a plan through Stride?
You’ll need to check with your dentist to see if they’re in-network but with nationwide coverage, you can find a dentist anywhere in the US.

Vision plans

No matter your level of driving experience, nighttime driving may come with unique circumstances like difficulty reading street signs or seeing lane markings, and glaring headlights from oncoming traffic. While you can adopt tips to drive safer at  night, such as regularly cleaning your windshield and using anti-glare glasses, staying on top of your vision health with annual visits to an eye doctor is important. With plans starting at around $10/month, essentials like eye exams and corrective lenses are less costly for you and your family.

FAQs

Can I sign up at any time of the year?
Yes! There are no limitations for when you can sign up.

Can I get coverage for my family?
Yes, you can get it for any of your immediate family members.

Can I keep seeing my regular eye doctor if I get a plan through Stride?
If you get insured through Stride, you’ll have access to over 84,000 eye doctors across the US. Check with your eye doctor to see if they’re in-network.
