However, Healthy Nomads is not insurance. It is a membership-based healthcare program specifically created for RVers and other frequent travelers. It offers significant savings to traditional health insurance plans. There are three main components to Healthy Nomads.
[UPDATE: We’ve been notified that as of January 2025, this program is no longer available. Check out Zion HealthShare as a similar option.] Today I will be speaking with an entrepreneur who has worked with a major health care provider to create a plan specifically for full-time RVers that makes it easier and more affordable to access healthcare on the road. One of the most frequent objections I hear for jumping into the RV lifestyle is, “What about healthcare?” People who get health insurance through their jobs are often shackled by extraordinarily high costs for “out-of-network” visits to doctors and hospitals. Since the point of RVing is to travel out of your area, many people are fearful they'll pay through the nose if they ever need to see a doctor. Kyle Henson understands that concern very well. Not only is he a full-time RVer, but he is the founder of Nomad Nomads. It is a company born out of the need for somebody who understands the RV lifestyle and the big gap of options for health care available to nomads. However, Healthy Nomads is not insurance. It is a membership-based healthcare program specifically created for RVers and other frequent travelers. It offers significant savings to traditional health insurance plans. There are three main components to Healthy Nomads. The first is medical cost sharing. Members submit bills for major medical expenses from an illness or injury, and the cost is paid from a trust fund created from the combined monthly dues of all members. There is an initial amount that members are required to pay first, but then the program kicks in and generally pays 100% of the remaining amount. It is designed specifically to take care of medium to catastrophic medical needs. The second component is virtual primary care in that members have access to a primary care doctor who is familiar with their health history. Patients work with the same physician wherever they may be by connecting through an app for face-to-face consultations. Members can also virtually consult with urgent care doctors on matters that cannot wait a day or two for a patient to consult with their regular doctor. The third component is an essential savings package that gives members 12 different types of discounts on a variety of medical services. That would include things like dental care, vision and hearing, alternative medicine, prescription drugs, lab testing, MRIs, counseling services and others. I have used a faith-based medical bill-sharing program for almost 10 years. It works very similar to Kyle's program, except there is not a religious component to Healthy Nomads. Kyle developed the program in cooperation with Zion HealthShare, which is not a ministry, like the program I use. It is a non-profit organization, which means it does not have to generate super-high profits to give back to investors and shareholders. Although it is not health insurance, it works very similar to automobile insurance where people pay a monthly fee. But they only tap into the benefits when they have a major problem, such as an accident, fire or a tree falls on the vehicle. People do not submit costs for routine service, like oil changes and new tires, to their auto insurance company. However, that type of plan is a life-saver if there is a major problem that severely damages or completely destroys a car. Auto insurance offers various deductible amounts that policy holders must pay themselves, even after a major accident. Healthy Nomads works the same way. Because it is not insurance, the Healthy Nomads plan has various initial unshareable amounts ranging from $1,000 to $2,500 to $5,000, which members will pay themselves before submitting a bill for sharing to the Zion Healthshare trust account. The real benefit of a medical health sharing plan is the monthly cost to members. The highest Healthy Nomads membership cost for someone over 50, regardless of where they live, with a $1,000 initial unshareable amount is $289 per month for a single person; $519 per month for a member and spouse or member and children; or $719 for a member, spouse and all the children. The costs are even lower for younger people and if you opt for a larger initial unshareable amount. There is a one-time enrollment fee, and smokers do pay an extra $50 per month for membership. But, compared to most insurance plans and even Obamacare, it is a true bargain. Don't forget, the basic plan also includes virtual visits with a regular doctor, access to virtual urgent care services, and a plethora of discounts on medical services and testing.

Today, we're going to address one of the most important questions people have when contemplating the Workamping lifestyle: Can we get health insurance and medical services on the road? The answer is yes, and my guest will explain how to do that. Where to get health insurance is one of the biggest questions many people have as they contemplate embracing the RV lifestyle. Many times, it is THE stumbling block holding people back from pursuing their dream of full-time travel. That's not surprising considering the games people have had to play to get or keep insurance over the years. At one time or another, most of us have been caught having to pay for “out of network” medical care, meaning we were in a situation where we had to see a doctor, but were away from our regular provider and paid a hefty price for care. For others, health insurance is simply too expensive – a luxury retained by full-time employees, not self-employed business owners. The good news is that there are now truly affordable options for people who travel – especially self-employed RVers. Kyle Henson is a full-time RVer who has traveled with his wife and 13-year-old daughter since 2011. He had already been working online in the insurance industry when they decided to take their first RV trip. The family enjoyed the experience so much that they made a full-time commitment to the lifestyle. However, while on the road, Kyle discovered a pressing need among RVers, especially those who traded in a sticks-and-bricks home for one on wheels. The couple formed Nomad Insurance Group to connect RVers to insurance companies that realize the challenges RVers face in finding healthcare on the road. The firm has since expanded insurance options to include backpackers and world travelers as well. The company focuses exclusively on health insurance programs that provide nationwide coverage that is not location-dependent in confining people to specific doctors in specific areas. Kyle explains that RVers have several truly affordable insurance options at their disposal. He takes some of the mystery out of navigating the Medicare system and options that retired people have for getting coverage and service through it. The short-term insurance options he described are ideal for people who want nationwide coverage when traveling for a few months. Options with deductibles and co-pays mean that a plan can be customized for any budget. It's for that reason that some people like fixed-benefit health plans. Using a schedule of payments, you know exactly how much the plan will pay toward your doctor visit, hospital stay, prescriptions, surgery, etc. Many folks enroll in fixed benefit plans to offset costs with a different comprehensive plan. People who own their own businesses can tap into nationwide insurance coverage and benefits offered to members of a large union group. The plans offer a nationwide network of preferred providers, so it's possible to get coverage in any state. With telemedicine gaining in popularity, Nomad Insurance Group offers options to talk to a doctor or nurse around the clock without ever going into a clinic or urgent care center. Kyle is happy to talk to RVers by phone or during an online meeting to outline available options and their related costs.
