Plan summary
Get our guide to the Essential Health Benefits covered by this plan and all other Marketplace plans.
Monthly premium
Your premium is the amount you pay for health insurance each month.
Deductible
$9,200 per person
$9,200 per person
Your deductible is the amount you pay for healthcare services before your insurance starts helping you cover the cost.
Depending on the plan, some basic services (like doctor visits and prescriptions) may be covered before your deductible is met.
Out-of-pocket max
$9,200 per person
$18,400 per family
This is the most you will have to pay for healthcare services during your coverage period (typically 12 months).
After you spend this amount on deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance, your health insurance plan will pay the rest.
Note: monthly premiums don’t count towards your out-of-pocket max.
Network type
HMO
The type of network you choose (HMO, PPO, POS, or EPO) will determine which providers (doctors, pharmacies, hospitals, and specialist) you can see.
• HMO plans usually limit coverage to providers who are within the plan’s network, and require a doctor’s referral to see specialists.
• PPO plans usually cover some of the cost of out-of-network providers (but not as much as for in-network providers), and don’t require a doctor’s referral to see specialists.
• EPO is a managed care plan where services are covered only if you go to doctors, specialists, or hospitals in the plan’s network (except in an emergency).
Metal tier
Bronze
Metal levels (which include bronze, silver, gold, and platinum) determine how you will split the cost of your healthcare services with your insurance carrier.
• Bronze plans have the lowest monthly premiums and the highest costs when you need care
• Silver plans have moderate monthly premiums and moderate costs when you need care.
• Gold plans have high monthly premiums and low costs when you need care.
• Platinum plans have the highest monthly premiums and the lowest costs when you need care.
