Florida residents can pick up more than just pounds of coffee and a 30-roll package of toilet paper at Costco—they can now buy health insurance there.

Aetna is now offering individual health insurance plans to Costco members in Florida, the Hartford, Conn.-based health insurer said last week. The Costco Personal Health Insurance program insured by Aetna includes five plans and offers broad major medical benefits, dental options, an extensive network of doctors and hospitals, and a variety of services, tools and information tailored to meet the needs of Costco members. They also offer lower copays on prescriptions filled at Costco pharmacies.

The insurer announced their plan to sell insurance through the wholesale club operator last April. Florida becomes the eleventh state where the program is offered; the Costco Personal Health Insurance program is also available to Costco members in Arizona, California, Connecticut, Georgia, Illinois, Michigan, Nevada, Pennsylvania, Texas and Virginia.
