This is your HIPAA option. This option should be considered by those who take many prescription medications. There are no limits for prescription drugs, but there is a separate $250 deductible for the drugs. The earliest that this will start is the 1st of the following month, assuming you return all required applications and information to TheInsuranceNet.com offices prior to 15th of the current month. To qualify for MHIP you need to generally not be eligible for another health plan and be a resident of Maryland for 6 months.
