Because many farmers are sole proprietors and operators, an obstacle they face is accessing affordable health care options. As a result of a recent law, INFB can provide its members with this new health plan, which covers essential health benefits, such as office visits, preventative services, and maternity and newborn care.
According to a study by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, a lack of access to affordable health insurance is one of the biggest concerns facing farmers. With farming being a physically demanding profession, it is imperative these Hoosiers can access care.
Hoosiers enrolled in this health care option can also get their COVID-19 vaccine covered through INFB.
