Plan summary
Get our guide to the Essential Health Benefits covered by this plan and all other Marketplace plans.
Your premium is the amount you pay for health insurance each month.
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
N/A per person
N/A 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
EPO
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
Silver
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.
Doctor visits
This can include any visits to your doctors (outside of regular checkups) within your plan's network.
Emergency / Surgery
These are the costs you’re responsible for in the case of an emergency or surgery.
Pregnancy
Every ACA health insurance plan covers healthcare services provided before and after your child is born. Here is a breakdown of the costs associated with your plan.
Prescriptions
Prescription coverage and cost is usually based on a tiered structure. These tiers are determined by generic, brand, or speciality drugs.
Diagnostics / Labs / Imaging
This is the amount you're responsible for when receiving blood work, tests, or x-rays your doctor may need for diagnosing.
Mental health
Under the Affordable Care Act, all Marketplace plans are required to cover behavioral health treatment, mental and behavioral health inpatient services, as well as substance use treatment.
The Affordable Care Act requires that all health insurance plans cover preventive care for free. Preventive care services focus on managing and maintaining your health before something becomes serious. This includes routine check-ups, counseling, screenings, and immunizations.
