What kind of health insurance plans are offered through the Marketplace?

Within the Marketplace, there are five basic categories that healthcare plans are going to fall into. The difference between the plans is based on the amount that the plan will pay for health costs. The five types of plans are:

• BRONZE: On average, you will pay 40% of the health care costs, while the plan covers 60%
• SILVER: You will pay 30% of health care costs, while the plan covers 70%
• GOLD:  You will pay 20% of health care costs, the plan will cover 80%
• PLATINUM:You will only pay 10% of the health care costs, while the plan covers 90%
• CATASTROPHIC: This plan will pay 60% of the health care costs on average. However, this is only available if you are under 30 years of age, or if you can claim a hardship exemption.

What health benefits are covered under Marketplace plans?

When looking at Marketplace plans, you are going to find that all plans must offer the same 10 minimum essential health benefits which were laid out in the Affordable Health Care Act. These benefits are going to include the following:

• Prescription Drugs
• Hospitalization
• Laboratory services
• Ambulatory patient services
• Emergency services
• Care during Pregnancy, maternity and after birth
• Mental health and substance abuse disorder services
• Rehabilitation services
• Habilitative services and devices
• Preventative treatment
• Disease management
• If you have children, then your plan must include the pediatric dental and vision care. However, adults are not required to have this coverage. These are considered essential benefits that all plans have, however, some plans do include more coverage. For example, some plans may offer birth control options, and others won’t. When comparing health plan options, you will want to look for extra coverage.

Is there a tax penalty if an individual or family chooses to not have coverage?

• NO,  as of January 1, 2019 there is no longer a penalty for not buying health insurance
