What is the Marketplace?
The health insurance Marketplace or Exchange is an online shopping center. Both federal Marketplace and state-based Marketplaces exist.
Marketplace health plans are all required to offer the same essential health benefits, including doctor visits, preventive care, hospitalization, prescriptions, pregnancy and mental health, to name a few.
In the Marketplace, you can:
- Find out if you qualify for a subsidy, tax credits or special programs.
- Compare plans based on cost, benefits, deductibles, etc.
- Apply for and enroll in a health plan.
Resources like HealthCare.com can help you shop for Marketplace plans with ease and support, providing you with quotes and recommendations.
