Iowa coverage guide
Iowa Insurers & Hospitals
Start with a company or hospital, then check the exact plan and network before choosing coverage or getting care in Iowa.
A licensed Health Insurance Solutions agent can help you compare the plans we offer at no cost.
These listings come from dated public sources. A listing does not confirm network status, availability or that we offer a plan. Confirm the plan, doctor, location and date with both the insurer and provider.

Individual and family coverage
Health insurers in Iowa
Individual, non-dental plans marked on-exchange in the CMS 2027 Exchange Plan Attributes file, updated October 20, 2026. The named insurers and plan counts are not a list of employer plans, Medicare plans or every insurer in the state.

Original Medicare
Medicare Supplement in Iowa
Medicare Supplement, also called Medigap, works with Original Medicare and is different from Medicare Advantage. Compare the plan letter, premium, enrollment rules and any Medicare SELECT network before choosing a policy.
Plan availability and prices can change. Plans C and F are generally limited to people first eligible for Medicare before 2020. We do not offer every policy shown.
Iowa included these companies in its sample premiums for people age 65 and older, effective October 1, 2026. These examples are not a current quote or a complete list for everyone. Check with the insurer for current availability, rates and eligibility.

For small businesses
Small-group insurers in Iowa
These companies appear in CMS’s 2027 annual small-group rate filings, updated October 30, 2026. Select a company to explore its new and renewing plan entries.
A filing does not establish approval or availability to your business. This list does not include every large-group, self-funded or other employer arrangement, and we do not offer every plan shown.
- Avera Health Plans, Inc.32 new or renewing plan entries in the filing
- Medical Associates Health Plans40 new or renewing plan entries in the filing
- UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company87 new or renewing plan entries in the filing

Large employers and self-funded plans
Large-group and self-funded arrangements are not included in the small-group filing list above. A self-funded employer generally pays plan claims; an insurance company or another administrator may handle the network and administration. The name on a card alone does not identify how a plan is funded.
Ask the employer or plan administrator for the exact plan name, administrator and network, then verify the doctor, hospital and service with both the plan and provider.
