Insurance Plans
At Haven Shield Insurance, we know health insurance coverage can be confusing at times, so we’ve put together resources to help you understand what health plans are accepted across our system.
Health insurance under the Affordable Care Act
The Affordable Care Act has many options to make health care coverage more accessible and affordable for those who don’t currently have health insurance or have limited coverage. BFH is dedicated to helping our patients get answers to their questions about these insurance options.
Washington Healthplanfinder™
Washington Healthplanfinder™ is the official ACA-compliant health benefit exchange of Washington state. If you’re uninsured, you can find a health insurance plan that fits your needs and budget through Washington’s plan finder site. You may even qualify for low-cost or free insurance.
Medicaid coverage
If you qualify for Medicaid, or Apple Health, you may apply at any time throughout the year. Applications can be made through the Washington Healthplanfinder.
Key enrollment dates and information include:
- Open enrollment begins Nov. 1 each year, for health insurance coverage for the following year, and ends Jan. 31.
- You can get coverage at any time of year if you qualify for Medicaid or CHIP, or have certain life changes, such as:
- Getting married

- Losing other health insurance coverage
