Understanding ACA Metal Levels

  • Bronze Plans

    Bronze plans carry the lowest premiums and the highest deductibles. They work for healthy people who rarely see a doctor but want protection from a serious accident or illness.

  • Silver Plans

    Silver plans sit in the middle. For households with lower incomes, Silver plans can include cost-sharing reductions that lower deductibles and copays, sometimes dramatically.

  • Gold and Platinum Plans

    Gold plans have higher premiums but lower costs when you use care. They can make sense for people managing a chronic condition or expecting surgery. Platinum availability varies by area.

Premium Tax Credits and Cost-Sharing Reductions

How Tax Credits Are Calculated

Premium tax credits for ACA health insurance are based on your expected household income for the coming year and the cost of a benchmark Silver plan in your area. The credit can be applied to your premium each month or claimed when you file taxes.

Estimating Income Correctly

Self-employed workers, farmers, and people with seasonal income often find this part tricky. We help you build a realistic estimate and remind you to update it if your income changes.

Cost-Sharing Reductions

If your income falls within certain limits, choosing a Silver plan can lower what you pay at the doctor and pharmacy. These savings only apply to Silver plans.

ACA Health Insurance FAQ

  • Who can buy ACA health insurance?

    Most U.S. citizens and lawfully present residents who aren't enrolled in Medicare can buy ACA health insurance through the Marketplace.

  • Is ACA health insurance the same as Obamacare?

    Yes. Obamacare is the common name for plans sold under the Affordable Care Act.

  • Can I get ACA health insurance if I have employer coverage?

    You can, but you usually won't qualify for tax credits if your employer offers affordable coverage that meets minimum standards.

  • When does ACA health insurance start?

    If you enroll during Open Enrollment by mid-December, coverage typically starts January 1. Special Enrollment coverage usually starts the first of the following month.

  • Do ACA plans cover pre-existing conditions?

    Yes. ACA health insurance can't deny coverage, exclude conditions, or charge more because of health history.

  • What is an out-of-pocket maximum?

    It's the most you'll pay for covered in-network care in a year. After you reach it, the plan pays 100 percent of covered services.

  • Can I change ACA plans mid-year?

    Only if you have a qualifying life event that opens a Special Enrollment Period.

  • Are there ACA plans with low deductibles?

    Yes. Gold plans and Silver plans with cost-sharing reductions often have much lower deductibles than Bronze plans.

  • Does ACA health insurance include dental for adults?

    Adult dental isn't a required benefit. Some plans include limited coverage, and standalone dental plans are available.

  • What happens if my income changes?

    Report the change to the Marketplace. Your tax credit will be adjusted so you don't owe money back at tax time.
