As a healthy millennial, you may not think health insurance is entirely necessary. However, it’s important to have coverage to avoid or put off the care you need, especially if an emergency occurs. This article dissects the many health insurance options for millennials to consider in 2024, from catastrophic plans to health insurance alternatives.

If you don’t currently have coverage, then it’s important to know that most traditional insurance plans have a waiting period before they take effect. Luckily, Mira is an alternative option that offers low-cost urgent care visits, affordable lab testing, and discounted prescriptions for a single, low, $45 per month premium.

How to Choose Health Insurance as a Millennial

Millennials' best health insurance options will be affordable, with a low or no waiting period, and give you access to in-person visits and prescriptions. Here are there other big factors that may impact your decision: 

  • Medical emergencies are expensive: It may not seem like you'd encounter a medical emergency; all it takes is one brief moment (tripping while going up the stairs, breaking a bone, etc.) which can cost thousands of dollars in medical bills; even before accounting for surgeries and other treatment.
  • Preventative care is more important than you think: Without insurance, you may avoid preventative visits due to the cost. However, preventative doctor visits are actually essential and directly affect developing a more serious condition that would cost even more money to manage down the road.
  • There are alternatives to health insurance: Health insurance plans may not fit everyone, especially millennials. However, there are alternatives. Mira is a membership healthcare service for just $45/mo. It's ideal for people who don't have pre-existing conditions and need preventative urgent care visits. Members also get access to affordable lab testing and prescription discounts.
