2023 Gold Plans

Gold Plans Overview

Once you understand the differences, it’s easier to find the best plan that fits you and your family. We want you to get all the coverage you need without paying for benefits you don’t.

Gold cheat sheet:

  • Gold plans have the highest premiums.
  • Gold plans have lower out-of-pocket costs.
  • On average, the insurance company pays 80%. You pay 20%.
  • “Get this plan if your doctor knows you better than your spouse.”
