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.
Why the Switch Back To Nevada Health Link? There are several reasons for the transition away from HealthCare.gov. Ultimately, the goal is to provide Nevadans with more affordable health insurance coverage, easier access to plans that they need, cost the member and the State less money, and have our own State autonomy.
f you’re one of the many Nevadans who rely on health insurance coverage through the Marketplace, then you may have been impacted by some of the recent changes to Obamacare. While a majority of Obamacare has remained in place, 2019 brought a few changes to the program.
For many, auto insurance is a significant monthly expense. In some cases, you may be tempted to get rid of the payment entirely by foregoing auto insurance coverage. However, doing so can have some serious negative consequences.

Make certain that you are paying for the correct account, and that the money is being withdrawn from your bank account in a timely manner.
Nevada has already spent approximately $84 Million dollars (that is NOT a typo folks) developing our Nevada Health Link.
