From 1/1/2014 on, all individual and family health insurance plans will have these “Metallic” names whether you purchase health insurance “On Exchange” or “Off Exchange”. It gives you an easy-to-understand overview of how the plans will share the payment of your medical bills.
Health insurance companies that sell plans on the Health Insurance Marketplace can offer four types of qualified health insurance plans, including Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. The plan you choose determines not only the premium you pay but also what portion of your health costs you pay.
To make it easier to shop for coverage, health insurance plans have standardized “metals”. The “metal” plan depends on its actuarial value, or the average percentage of health care costs the plan pays vs what the member pays. The more coverage a plan provides, the higher the monthly premium and the fancier the metal level. Gold is better than Silver. Silver is better than Bronze.
This percentage will not go on forever, there is always an “Out of Pocket Maximum” (this is your pocket, not the insurance company), so you’ll only pay your portion of the expenses until you’ve reached your out-of-pocket maximum.
You’ll want to review your “Summary of Benefits and Coverage” to find out what your deductible is, your co-insurance, your out-of-pocket maximum, along with all of the important details of what your plan covers.
Regardless of the plan you choose, it will provide all 10 essential health care benefits guaranteed to policyholders under the Affordable Care Act. The difference among the plans has to do with how much overall out-of-pocket costs you’ll pay up to your out-of-pocket maximum.
Choosing the right metal tier requires evaluating your budget and assessing current and expected health care needs. Our agents guide you in reviewing the options available across the tiers and help you determine which plan best fits your health needs and budget. We can also help you determine whether you qualify for subsidies to lower your premium.
The good news is that if you have an ACA compliant health insurance plan, then your health insurance covers mental health care. This removes a significant roadblock to treatment, which can be pricey.
Liability coverage helps cover the costs of any bodily injuries or property damage that results from a collision that you caused (when you are at fault). This type of insurance exclusively covers the damages done to the driver that you hit; it does not cover any repairs to your own vehicle, nor can it be used for your own medical bills or lost wages.
Other structures coverage pays for damages to structures other than your house. This is part of a standard homeowners insurance policy, providing valuable coverage in the event of a covered loss.

While self-driving vehicles may not be widely accepted yet, forward-collision warnings, blind-spot monitoring, lane-departure warnings, and similar components are the predecessors to what eventually will be self-driving options in high-end and mid-priced cars.
If all you have is a standard salvage title, it can be extremely difficult to get insurance since the car is not deemed legal to drive. It’s recommended that you first get the rebuilt title then work on getting some level of auto insurance coverage.
Although once considered a fringe option for those unable to or uninterested in purchasing traditional health insurance, Christian ministry programs have experienced a surge in popularity in recent years, adding millions of subscribers.
If you own a unique, sports, or exotic car, your driving habits are probably considerably different than most drivers. It makes sense, therefore, that your auto insurance coverage should be different as well. Your auto insurance company uses a vehicle’s make, model, horsepower, size, weight and number of cylinders to classify it as a sports or exotic car.
