AFFORDABLE CARE ACT OBAMACARE

A law enacted on March 23, 2010 the Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare, granted accessible health insurance through a tax credit method, reducing the monthly premium costs for all those who have an eligible immigration status in the United States. People who do not qualify for Medicaid, Medicare or if their employer does not offer health insurance can qualify for ObamaCare.

Our licensed agents are trained to provide information on the medical plans that are available in the Marketplace for you and your family.

KEY FEATURES

Plans available in the marketplace come in four categories that each client must take into account before making any choice: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. The metal categories are based on how you and the health plan share the total cost of your health care. Remember that the cost of the plans also has a price variation for the number of members that make up the family, the dependents and the income of the family group.

Bronze plan

It is recommended that you get a bronze plan if you do not expect to use medical services on a regular basis and do not take prescription medications on a regular basis. These plans usually have very low monthly premiums, but they have high deductibles and pay less of the costs when you need medical care.

Silver plan

Silver plans can be a good option for most people. If you qualify for additional savings (“cost-sharing reductions”), your deductible will be lower and you will pay less each time you receive care.

Gold plan

If you can pay more each month to have more costs covered when you get medical treatment. If you use insurance regularly due to a health condition, a Gold plan could be a good value.

Platinum

For someone who expects to make many visits to the doctor’s office or need prescriptions regularly. These plans usually have higher monthly premiums, but pay more of your costs when you need health care services covered.

Off-Exchange Health Plans

A health insurance policy that you buy directly from an insurance carrier. Some off-exchange plans offer many of the same coverages that are available with ACA plans. While the criteria for qualified health plans are the same nationwide, plans on the exchange can vary by state. In many cases, an insurance carrier will offer both an on-exchange and off exchange plan with the same coverage.

These plans should only be considered by people who are in good health and who do not frequently use medical services. When medical services are mostly paid out of pocket, it can result in significantly higher costs overall.
