What is different about coverage in Nebraska
Nebraska Medicaid is administered by the Department of Health and Human Services, and Nebraskans shop for ACA coverage through the federal HealthCare.gov site. Nebraska Insurance Plans's phone help for Nebraska callers -- Medicare, ACA, life, or supplemental coverage -- costs nothing.
- Nebraska Medicaid, run by the Department of Health and Human Services, can be reached at 855-632-7633 for eligibility questions or applications.
- Nebraska has no state-run ACA exchange, so plan comparisons and subsidy questions go through the federal HealthCare.gov Marketplace.
- Nebraska SHIP, a division of the Nebraska Department of Insurance, offers free Medicare counseling at (800) 234-7119, separate from Nebraska Insurance Plans's own free phone help.
Worth knowing: Nebraska's SHIP and Senior Medicare Patrol programs operate together as a single division inside the Department of Insurance, so a caller with both a plan-choice question and a suspected Medicare scam can be handled by the same office in one call.

Where do I shop for ACA health plans in Nebraska?
Nebraska residents shop through HealthCare.gov (federal Marketplace) (https://www.healthcare.gov/nebraska/). An independent agent such as Lander LLC can explain the plans for you, but the marketplace is the only place premium tax credits are applied.
How do I apply for Medicaid in Nebraska?
Medicaid in Nebraska is run through Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) (https://dhhs.ne.gov/Pages/Medicaid-Providers.aspx). Eligibility depends on income, household size and other factors, and it is decided by the state, not by an insurance agency.
Who regulates insurance in Nebraska?
Nebraska Department of Insurance (https://doi.nebraska.gov) regulates insurance companies and agents in Nebraska. You can use it to check that an agent or company is licensed and to file a complaint.
Is there free, unbiased Medicare help in Nebraska?
Yes. Nebraska SHIP (State Health Insurance Assistance Program) ((800) 234-7119) offers free Medicare counseling through the State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), separate from any insurance agency.
Does Nebraska Insurance Plans cost anything to use?
There is no cost to call or to speak with an agent. Insurance premiums and plan costs are set by the insurance companies and are separate from our help.
