Navigating the Marketplace shouldn't be overwhelming

The Affordable Care Act created the Health Insurance Marketplace to provide Americans with access to comprehensive health coverage. But navigating plan options, understanding subsidies, and enrolling during open enrollment periods can be confusing and overwhelming. The HealthCare.gov website serves as the federal marketplace for ACA-compliant plans.

At Premier Health Solutions, we help simplify the process. We work with agents and associations to connect members with ACA-compliant plans that fit their healthcare needs and budget — including guidance on subsidy eligibility and plan selection.

Confusing plan options
With multiple metal tiers, varying deductibles, and different provider networks, choosing the right ACA plan can be overwhelming for consumers.
Understanding subsidies and costs
Many eligible individuals miss out on premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions because they don't understand the subsidy process.
Limited enrollment windows
Open enrollment periods are time-limited, and missing the deadline means waiting until the next enrollment period unless a qualifying life event occurs.

What ACA plans cover

ACA-compliant plans are required to cover essential health benefits, providing comprehensive coverage that goes well beyond what many supplemental or short-term plans offer.

Hospitalization & Emergency

Coverage for hospital stays, emergency room visits, and surgical procedures — essential protections for unexpected medical events.

Preventive & Wellness

Preventive services like annual checkups, vaccinations, and screenings are covered at no additional cost under ACA plans.

Prescription Drug Coverage

ACA plans include prescription drug benefits, helping members afford the medications they need for ongoing and acute conditions.

Mental Health Services

Mental health and substance use disorder services, including behavioral health treatment and counseling, are covered as essential health benefits.

Maternity & Newborn Care

Comprehensive maternity care including prenatal visits, labor and delivery, and newborn care are required benefits under ACA plans.

Rehabilitative Services

Coverage for rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices to help members recover from injuries or manage chronic conditions.

About ACA Health Insurance

The Health Insurance Marketplace is a platform created under the Affordable Care Act where individuals and families can shop for and enroll in health insurance plans that meet ACA standards. Plans are available in four metal tiers — Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum — each with different premium and cost-sharing levels.

Most U.S. citizens and legal residents who are not incarcerated and do not have access to affordable employer-sponsored coverage that meets minimum standards are eligible to purchase coverage through the Marketplace. Income-based subsidies may further reduce costs for eligible individuals and families.

Premium tax credits are financial assistance from the federal government that lowers the monthly premium cost for eligible individuals and families who purchase coverage through the Marketplace. Eligibility is based on household income and family size.

ACA Marketplace plans have an annual open enrollment period, typically running from November through mid-January. Outside of open enrollment, you may qualify for a Special Enrollment Period if you experience a qualifying life event such as marriage, birth of a child, or loss of other coverage.

ACA-compliant plans must cover ten categories of essential health benefits: ambulatory services, emergency services, hospitalization, maternity and newborn care, mental health and substance use services, prescription drugs, rehabilitative services, laboratory services, preventive and wellness services, and pediatric services.

Yes. While ACA plans provide comprehensive coverage, members can add PHS-administered supplemental products like dental, vision, critical illness, or accident insurance to create an even more robust benefits package.

We work with agents and associations to help members navigate plan options, understand subsidy eligibility, compare plans, and complete the enrollment process. Our team provides support throughout the year for questions and qualifying life event enrollments.
