Which health insurance plan is right for you?
Anthem understands everyone’s budgets and health care needs are different. That’s why we designed our plans in Missouri to come in different price levels. Whether you’re a family of five with lots of doctor’s appointments or someone who just wants to be covered for emergencies, we may have a plan to help match your needs and fit your wallet. Let’s check out all your health plan options so you can find what may work for you or your family.
What is the Affordable Care Act?
The Affordable Care Act, or ACA, is a law designed to help ensure that all Americans have access to affordable health insurance. ACA plans can be sold on or off the health insurance exchange, so buying a policy in the individual market is now a realistic option for a lot more people.
Health insurance deductibles & copays
When you have health insurance, we’re here to help with medical costs. As soon as you start the monthly payments on your Missouri health plan, you’ll be covered for check-ups and preventive care. Most preventive care is free or costs a fee called a copay.
For other care, you might be asked to pay for your care up to a certain amount. That’s reaching your deductible. Once you reach it, we’ll start paying for a percentage of your costs. You just pay the rest. That’s called your coinsurance. Finally, every plan has an out-of-pocket limit that you can reach if you spend a lot in one year.
Medical expenses over the year
Deductible
The set amount you pay out-of-pocket each year before your plan starts paying for covered services, except for in-network preventive services. In-network preventive services are covered before the deductible is met.
Copays & coinsurance
A copay is a fixed fee that you pay out-of-pocket for each visit to an in-network health care provider. Coinsurance is the amount you pay for covered health care services. It’s a percentage of the cost of services after the deductible has been paid.
Out-of-pocket limit
Once you have met your out-of-pocket limit, your plan pays 100% of the maximum allowed amount for covered services for the rest of that calendar year.
