Health Plans for Farm Bureau Members Under Age 65*

Choosing the right health plan to suit your health and financial situation is important. If you are not eligible for health coverage through an employer group plan, you can enroll yourself or your family in one of our individual plans.

We offer Farm Bureau members in Nebraska a wide variety of health plans, so you're sure to find one that meets your family's needs, all backed by the security and protection of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Nebraska health care coverage. As an added convenience, monthly premiums can be automatically withdrawn from your checking or savings account.

SAVE MONEY! You can save 30 percent on your monthly premium (excluding Short-Term Medical) if you haven't used tobacco products for at least 12 months.

BudgetWise & BudgetWise+

You need health care coverage, but you’re concerned that you won’t be able to afford it.

BudgetWise+ offers seven benefit options and prescription drug coverage.

HSA-Eligible Health Plans

BluePreferred and BudgetWise High Deductible Health Plans (HDHP), combined with a Health Savings Account (HSA), are for people like you: people who don’t like the high cost of health coverage and want to control their financial future. Instead of paying for traditional, high-cost health insurance, enroll in a lower-cost HDHP, take the money you save on monthly premiums and invest in a tax-free savings account.

Short-Term Medical

Whether you’re a recent graduate looking for your first job or a seasoned worker in between jobs, you need temporary health care coverage until you are covered under an employer’s plan. With Short-Term Medical Plan coverage, you have your choice of three deductible options so you can select the plan that best fits your budget.

BluePreferred PPO

BluePreferred is a Preferred Provider Organization (PPO) plan. With our PPO coverage, you pay less in deductible and coinsurance when you use the hospitals and doctors in the plan's provider network.

BluePreferred Basics

Now, you can get quality health insurance at a price you can afford. With BluePreferred Basics you’re covered for basic health care services and you enjoy low monthly premium payments.
