The following is the precise estimate in terms of monetary payment made by you and the plan:

  • The Silver Plan: In this plan, you have to pay thirty percent of the charges while the plan will pay for the rest.
  • The Gold Plan: In this plan, you have to pay twenty percent of the costs.
  • The Platinum Plan: In this plan, you only have to pay ten percent of the charges while ninety percent is paid by the company.
  • The Catastrophic Plan: This plan is available for those people who are under thirty years of age and the plan pays for a sixty percent or less of the total costs. People who have a hard exemption also qualify for this plan.

If visits to the doctor are a regular feature of your routine, then either the platinum plan or the gold plan is the most suitable options according to your needs. Although these are high premium plans; but they offer a full coverage of an extensive part of your health care bills.

On the other hand, if visits to the doctor are not that frequent for you, then you may consider opting for the Bronze or the Silver Plan which feature lesser premium as compared to the above mentioned plans.

Additional costs

There are some out of pocket costs levied on the total charges. This is why it is important to know the exact amount of money that you will be paying in addition to the existing costs. Each plan has a different set of out of pocket charges.

It is important to note here that the Platinum and the Gold plans have low out of pocket costs as compared to the other plans.

The maximum amount of these out of pocket costs does not exceed $6600 for a single applicant and $13,200 for the entire family. Overall, in choosing a Silver Plan, you will be able to cut down on a maximum number of charges.

The above considerations will help you greatly in choosing the right health care plan for your family.
