ACA Marketplace Plans (Obamacare)
What it is: Federally regulated health insurance with potential premium subsidies and cost-sharing reductions based on household size & income.
Best for: Households that qualify for savings, want doctor networks in Boise, and need predictable out-of-pocket limits.
What we do for you:
- Check subsidy eligibility and estimate your real monthly cost.
- Compare networks (keep your doctors & meds).
- Clarify deductible vs. copay vs. max out-of-pocket so there are no surprises.
- Handle the application and special enrollment details so it’s done right.

Private Health Insurance (Off-Exchange)
What it is: Plans purchased outside the marketplace.
Best for: Higher-income households that don’t qualify for subsidies, or anyone prioritizing specific provider networks, benefits, or brand.
Why some Boise clients choose private plans:
- Access to preferred hospitals/clinics or multi-state networks.
- Different benefit designs (e.g., lower copays on routine care).
- Flexible add-ons (dental/vision, accident, critical illness).

Healthshare Alternatives (Lower Monthly Cost)
Healthshare is not insurance—it’s a cost-sharing membership with guidelines.
Best for: Healthy households focused on lower monthly costs, comfortable with member guidelines, and wanting a back-up for unexpected large bills.
We’ll explain clearly:
- How sharing works (and where it does not work).
- Typical monthly contributions vs. com parable insurance premiums.
- Pre-existing and waiting period rules.
- When a Healthshare makes sense—and when you should pick ACA or private instead

advantages.
