Finding The Right Policies & Coverage For Your Situation

With numerous plans available in the market, it is difficult to determine what is the right plan for your needs and budget. You may be wondering what coverage will suit your lifestyle and healthcare demands. Luckily, we are here to guide you in choosing the best health insurance coverage.


Below are some quality, affordable, and best insurance most people purchase. As you know health insurance in Idaho is split into three different metal tiers: bronze, silver, and gold. All tiers cover all the essential health benefits but it would differ on the amount you pay for that care.

The Bronze tier has the cheapest monthly premiums but has the highest deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums. While the Silver and Gold tier have more expensive premiums but much lower deductibles.


Finding The Best Health Insurance

Age is the most influential factor you need to consider when determining your insurance rates. As you experience it, health insurance costs are higher and expensive for those older enrollees. The right health insurance for you will vary on the availability of plans in your area, as well as your health and financial status.


GOLD (Excellent choice for an individual with high expected medical costs)

Gold tier is the most expensive insurance plan in the Idaho market in terms of monthly premiums. Even so, these plans can be cost-effective if you have a lot of medical costs due to lower deductibles and out-of-pocket limits. It is a good choice if you’re willing to pay more each month to cover more costs when you get medical treatment. If you use a lot of treatment and care, the gold plan is an excellent pick for you.

SILVER (Recommended tier with affordable premiums and average deductibles)

Silver tier is most recommended in most situations since these insurance policies have moderate monthly premiums and moderate costs when you need care. The silver plan is also allowed for cost-sharing reductions if your household income falls below 250% of the federal poverty level. It is a good choice for individuals who are looking for a balance of the cost of monthly premiums and out-of-pocket expenses.

is among the cheapest plans you can purchase under the Silver metal tier.


BRONZE (Good choice for low income and healthy applicants)

The cheapest tier among the three-tiers and the health insurance market. The bronze tier offers low monthly premiums but the highest deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums. Bronze plan deductibles mean you would spend a lot of medical expenses by yourself before the insurance kicks off. Best for an individual who wants to protect themselves from a low-cost way. 


* CPN North Central Bronze 7300
is the cheapest plan for the Bronze tier.


When evaluating health insurance plans, it is best to begin by comparing policy premiums and out-of-pocket limits to every insurance provider, determine what is the best deal for your situation and financial status. Normally, if you consider having moderate to high medical expenses throughout the year, then the best advice for that is to buy an upper-tier policy that allows smaller deductibles but more on premiums.


Considering the age when you apply for health insurance because younger people are slightly to get sick than older people that are prone to diseases.
