Check Your Eligibility

Takes about 40 seconds

Your information helps us estimate which Marketplace coverage and savings options may be available to you. Actual eligibility and savings are determined by the applicable Marketplace and plan provider.

This is for informational purposes only. Actual eligibility, premium tax credits, subsidies, plan availability, and costs are determined by the Marketplace and applicable insurers. A licensed agent can help you review your options. Your information is used to process your request and connect you with an insurance professional. See our Privacy Policy for details.

Enrollment dates: Open enrollment periods and dates vary by plan year and qualifying life events. Check current Marketplace enrollment dates at HealthCare.gov before applying. Certain qualifying life events may allow enrollment outside the standard open enrollment period.

The process

A simple way to explore Marketplace coverage options.

Here's how we walk through coverage options with you, step by step.

01 — Tell us about your household

A few straightforward questions

Income, family size, zip code, and whether anyone in your household currently has Medicaid or Medicare coverage. That's all we need to get started.

02 — Compare plan options side by side

Bronze through Platinum

We walk you through available plan tiers, explain how premiums and cost-sharing work, and help you understand the plans that may fit your situation.

03 — Connect with a licensed agent

A real person, on the phone

A licensed insurance professional reviews available options with you, answers your questions, and assists with the enrollment process if you decide to move forward.

Marketplace tiers

Four metal tiers. Different coverage options.

Each Marketplace metal tier represents a different way of sharing healthcare costs. Premiums, deductibles, cost-sharing, and benefits vary by plan, insurer, and state.

Questions

Before you talk to an agent.

What is the ACA Marketplace? +

The ACA Marketplace is the system created under the Affordable Care Act where individuals and families who do not get coverage through an employer can compare and buy health insurance. Depending on your household income, you may qualify for a premium tax credit that lowers your monthly premium. Eligibility is determined through the applicable Marketplace.

Do I have to enroll during open enrollment? +

In most cases, yes — open enrollment runs once a year. Outside of that window, you can only enroll if you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period, usually triggered by a qualifying life event such as losing other coverage, moving, getting married, or having a baby. Eligibility rules apply. Check current enrollment dates at HealthCare.gov.

What if my income changes during the year? +

Changes in household income may affect eligibility for premium tax credits or other Marketplace savings. Report applicable changes through the appropriate Marketplace process. Your agent can help you understand how to update your information and what options may be affected.

Is HealthACA affiliated with the government? +

No. HealthACA is an independent health insurance enrollment assistance service. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by the U.S. government, HealthCare.gov, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), or any state or federal government agency.

How much does it cost to use HealthACA? +

There is generally no separate fee to use our enrollment assistance service. Insurance premiums are paid directly to the applicable insurance provider. Compensation may be received from participating insurance providers. Compensation arrangements may vary by carrier and plan.

What happens after I submit the eligibility form? +

A licensed insurance professional will reach out to confirm your details, review available plans in your area, and assist with enrollment if you decide to move forward. There is no obligation to enroll.

When is open enrollment? +

Open enrollment periods and dates vary by plan year and state. Certain qualifying life events may allow enrollment outside the standard open enrollment period. We recommend checking current enrollment dates at HealthCare.gov before applying.
