A Healthy Option

During the 2025 Alabama Legislative Session, which begins Tuesday, Feb. 4, a bill will be introduced that would allow for the creation of
Alfa Health Plans.
These plans will offer:
Affordability
An Alfa Health Plan can provide Alabama Farmers Federation members a new option for reasonably priced health coverage.
Security
Once approved, individual health changes cannot cause cancellation or rate increases.
Convenience
There’s no open enrollment period. Members can apply or cancel at any time.
Stability
Affordable health coverage is essential to passing on farms and businesses to the next generation.
Quality
Health plans have proven successful at lowering costs for Farm Bureau members in other states. Alfa Health would partner with a licensed, third-party administrator to provide comprehensive coverage and personal service from a trusted source.
