The Health Insurance Marketplace
The Health Insurance Marketplace is a way to buy health insurance if you don’t get it through your employer. Most people can sign up during the Open Enrollment Period, which runs from November 1 to January 15 each year.
If you miss the open enrollment period, you can still sign up for health insurance through a Special Enrollment Period if you have a qualifying life event, such as losing your job or getting married.
There are four metal tiers for the plans in the Marketplace: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. Bronze plans have the lowest monthly premiums but the highest deductibles and out-of-pocket costs. Platinum plans have the highest monthly premiums but the lowest deductibles and out-of-pocket costs.
You can use the Marketplace to compare plans from different insurance companies and choose the plan that’s right for you. You can also get help from a licensed insurance agent or broker.
If you need health insurance, the Health Insurance Marketplace is a good place to start shopping. You can compare plans from different insurance companies and choose the plan that’s right for you.
