Learn the differences between health underwriting options, including guidelines, processes, and how they impact clients.
OVERLAND PARK, KS / ACCESS Newswire / November 12, 2025 / A.D. Banker helps agents navigate client options impacted by the Affordable Care Act (ACA). While ACA changed the standard for how individuals apply for health coverage, it also created limitations for underwriting in ACA-compliant applications but ultimately helped make health insurance more accessible to everyone.
As agents assist clients through health insurance applications, it's important to understand the key differences between ACA and Non-ACA health plans. Having this knowledge not only helps an agent find the right coverage for their clients but also builds trust and partnership.
Even though the ACA made health coverage far more accessible, there are still those that fall outside the ACA's requirements. These policies are sold outside of the Health Insurance Marketplace and still use medical underwriting to determine eligibility and premiums, which is why A.D. Banker has created a comprehensive overview.
ACA-compliant plans follow the federal regulations established by the ACA. Non-ACA plans, on the other hand, often do not - which can affect everything from coverage and consumer protections to renewability and underwriting.
