What Are ACA/Marketplace/
Obamacare Plans?
Health insurance plans available through the Marketplace—also referred to as the Federally Funded Marketplace (FFM), Affordable Care Act (ACA) or, informally, Obamacare—are federally regulated health coverage options designed to help make comprehensive health insurance more affordable and accessible to individuals and families. While these terms are often used interchangeably, they all describe the same federally regulated marketplace for private health insurance plans.
Residents of the Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas area can rely on ABear Insurance for assistance in navigating the Marketplace and selecting plans that best fit their needs. Our knowledgeable team explains the details of Marketplace/ACA/Obamacare plans and supports you in enrolling in quality health insurance that safeguards your health and finances.
What Do Marketplace Plans Cover?
Essential Health Benefits
Federal rules require Marketplace plans to cover a comprehensive package of essential health benefits. This includes preventative care (e.g. immunizations, screenings, well-woman visits), chronic disease management, mental health and substance use disorder care, maternity and newborn care, and rehabilitative services. We’ll go over your Marketplace options and make sure the plan you select provides robust benefits to meet your personal and family health needs.
Prescription Drug Coverage
Prescription drug coverage is included in every Marketplace plan and is an important part of controlling your out-of-pocket healthcare expenses. Generic, preferred brand-name and specialty drugs are covered. We’ll help you compare the formularies of different health plans, understand prescription tiers and know what to consider when evaluating the cost of your medications—helping you find effective and affordable coverage.
Pediatric and Family Health Coverage
Marketplace plans include robust pediatric coverage, such as well-child check-ups, immunizations, and essential dental and vision care for children. While adult dental and vision coverage are not federally mandated and may only be available through certain plans or separate stand-alone policies, ABear Insurance can help Dallas-Fort Worth families find comprehensive coverage options that meet the diverse needs of every family member.
Emergency Room and Hospitalization Coverage
Marketplace/ACA/Obamacare plans also provide dependable coverage for emergencies and hospitalization. This includes emergency room and urgent care, ambulance services, and inpatient hospital stays. These are key consumer protections designed to shield you from potentially large and unexpected healthcare costs. We’ll walk you through network options and plan benefits to help you manage out-of-pocket costs for your whole household.
Who Is Eligible for Marketplace Plans?
The individual and family health insurance available in the Marketplace is for U.S. citizens and lawfully present immigrants who do not qualify for Medicare, Medicaid, or other group insurance through an employer or organization that meets federal affordability guidelines. One of the key features of the Marketplace is eligibility for subsidies and tax credits, which help reduce monthly premiums and out-of-pocket costs for qualifying individuals and families. Marketplace enrollment is available during the annual Open Enrollment Period or during a Special Enrollment Period if you experience a qualifying life event, such as marriage, the birth of a child, or the loss of other health coverage.
Turn to ABear Insurance for expert help in Dallas-Fort Worth, Texas. We can help you assess your Marketplace eligibility, determine your eligibility for subsidies and tax credits, and walk you through the application and enrollment process every step of the way.
