Do these plans meet the ACA’s guidelines for minimal essential coverage?

Kansas Farm Bureau Traditional Membership Health Plans are made available through Kansas Farm Bureau as a membership organization. This membership plan structure was not included in the mandates under the Affordable Care Act, and medical underwriting may effect eligibility and rates. While providing a rich benefit package and large network of providers, the plans are not considered minimum essential coverage which means they are subject to the healthcare penalty for having a health plan of this type. The penalty is currently 0%.
