Quick answer
Usually not for your health plan itself. ACA-compliant health plans can only be priced on age, location, tobacco use, family size and plan level, so insurers can’t give you a multi-policy discount on them. Bundling can still save money on car, home, renters and life insurance, and some health insurers package dental, vision or supplemental coverage with a medical plan, but compare each piece on its own merits.
Key takeaways
- ACA health plans can’t be discounted for buying other policies from the same company.
- Multi-policy discounts are common for auto, home, renters and life insurance.
- Dental and vision add-ons can be convenient, but compare them with stand-alone plans.
- Pick your health plan for its network, drug coverage and total cost, not for a bundle.
- Be wary of “bundles” that include a discount plan or short-term plan instead of real health insurance.

Why health insurance isn’t bundled like car and home insurance
Car and home insurers can offer discounts for combining policies. ACA-compliant health plans follow stricter pricing rules: the only things that can change your premium are your age, where you live, tobacco use, how many people are covered and the plan level. See how health insurance rates are determined. Most health insurers also don’t sell auto or home coverage, so there’s usually nothing to bundle with.
What you can combine
- Dental and vision. Many insurers sell these alongside medical plans. Adult dental and vision usually aren’t part of a medical plan; see does Obamacare cover dental and does Obamacare cover vision.
- Supplemental coverage. Accident, critical illness and hospital indemnity policies pay cash benefits on top of your health plan. They can help with a high deductible but don’t replace real coverage.
- Job-based benefits. Employers often offer medical, dental, vision, life and disability coverage together, with your share taken from your paycheck before taxes.
- Other types of insurance. Life, auto and home insurance can often be bundled with each other for a discount. If you’re shopping for life coverage, you can compare life insurance quotes separately from your health plan.
Questions to ask before you bundle
- Is the health plan ACA-compliant? Some bundles pair a medical discount plan or short-term plan with other products. Those aren’t the same as health insurance; see health insurance coverage types and short-term health insurance.
- Are your doctors and drugs covered? A bundle doesn’t help if the medical plan’s network doesn’t include your doctors.
- What does each piece cost alone? Price the health plan, the dental plan and any add-ons separately and compare.
- Are you happy with the company’s service? Consider how the company handles claims before putting more of your coverage with it.

Frequently asked questions
Can I get a multi-policy discount on health insurance?
Not on ACA-compliant health plans. You may get discounts on other policies, like auto and home, when you bundle them together.
Is it cheaper to buy dental insurance from my health insurer?
Sometimes, but not always. Compare the dental plan’s premium, waiting periods and annual maximum with stand-alone dental plans.
Should I choose a health insurer because it offers a bundle?
No. Choose the health plan that covers your doctors and drugs at the best total cost, then shop for other coverage separately.
