Metal Tiers: There are four tiers of obamacare plans, which are labeled as Metal tiers. They are Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. Typically, moving up the tiers entails rising premiums that members pay, while the beneficiaries’ deductibles usually drop.

  • Bronze: This is the most basic tier, where the lowest monthly costs are achieved by having the higher deductible. This is ideal for young and healthy individuals who do not expect to seek healthcare often.
  • Silver: This tier is positioned in between the two other tiers of silver cost average and bronze. The other policies offer good coverage but not the highest level, which is well taken for many of these people.
  • Gold: Here, you will pay more money on a monthly basis but will incur lesser deductibles. This option is best for people who expect to have regular medical visits.
  • Platinum: This one has the highest monthly premiums but the least amount of out-of-pocket spent before the insurer kicks in. It works for people who have a disease or condition or people who just need the fullest protection possible.

Remember: It is all about the cost and the expected level of medical attention which needs to be balanced when picking which plan to go for.

Beyond the Tiers: Stop looking only at the tier. Here are some additional factors to consider when opting for a plan:

  1. Network of Doctors: Choose a plan that guarantees inclusion of doctors and hospitals that you use.
  2. Prescription Coverage: Are there any medications that are important for you to have covered? Verify that the plan covers your medications in its formulary.
  3. Out of Pocket Maximum: This is the maximum that will be spent within a year for any done procedures (excluding the monthly premium).
