Overview
People who use Health Connector to shop for healthcare can choose plans from four “metallic” tiers: Platinum, Gold, Silver, or Bronze. Platinum plans offer the highest premiums but the lowest copays and deductibles. Gold and Silver plans have lower premiums but higher copays and deductibles than Platinum plans. Bronze plans offer the lowest premiums but have the highest copays and deductibles of any metallic tier. Additionally, there is a Catastrophic plan available to people who are under 30 years old or have a qualifying exemption from the federal government; this plan has very high deductibles.
