More than 30 States have established high-risk pools that provide access to comprehensive health coverage for more than 180,000 people across the country. An estimated 1 million people who are eligible for coverage in high-risk pools don’t participate. In a few cases, States don’t have adequate funding for the pools and are unable to enroll all eligible individuals.
To find out if coverage through a high-risk pool is an option in your State, contact your State Insurance Commissioner. Check the blue pages of your local phone book for contact information.
