read more10 Tips to Find Affordable Health Insurance in the Affordable Care Act (aka Obamacare)
TIP # 1 - Shop the insurance market - on and off the State Health Insurance Exchange- Covered California
With the introduction of the California State Health Insurance Exchange, Covered California, every policyholder in California should compare their current health insurance plan with the new qualified health plans. These health plans are guaranteed to provide essential levels of coverage and comply with consumer protections set forth in the Affordable Care Act (ACA). The health plans are based on the metal rating inside and outside the exchange. The health insurance plans have a metal rating – Platinum, Gold, Silver or Bronze – based on actuarial value calculations. For example, Platinum plans will provide for 90 percent of costs while policyholders pay 10 percent of medical cost; Silver plans will offer 70 percent coverage while policyholders will pay 30 percent of medical cost.
Tip #2 - Will I qualify for a financial subsidy?
Since 2014, cost-sharing subsidies and tax credits will lower the cost of health insurance premiums and out-of-pockets expenses for health coverage. Many Americans will qualify for a federal subsidy to pay for their health insurance premium, which depends on their modified adjusted gross income (MAGI). Individuals and families earning up to 400% of the Federal Poverty Level will be eligible to qualify for a federal subsidy. The Federal Subsidy depends on your family size and modified adjusted gross income, to calculate please use the federal subsidy calculator. If your modified annual gross income (MAGI) is in between 139% and 250% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) the Silver Plans are offering next to the subsidy also a cost share reductions towards co-payments, co-insurance and out-of pocket maximum.
Tip #3 - Will my doctor and hospital be in the network?
Tip #4 - How will the insurance premium vary in California?
TIP # 5 Do not use out-of-network doctors
TIP #6 - Pay for Brand Prescription
TIP #7 - Go into Higher Deductible Plans - or Limited Doctor Visits
TIP #8 - Add Supplemental Insurance
TIP #9 - Always Read the Out-Of-Pocket Maximum
Inside the Networks of an Insurance Carrier’s Health Plan, Platinum Plans have a maximum out-of-pocket limit for an individual of $3,350, for a family of $6,700. Gold plans have an out-of-pocket maximum of $6,000 for an individual, $12,000 for a family while the Silver and Bronze Plans have an out-of-pocket maximum of $7,000 for an individual, $14,000 for a family.
Outside the Networks of an Insurance Carrier’s Health Plan, the out-of pocket maximum can be considerably higher.
