Each option has its benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Affordable Care Act\/Marketplace \u2013 <\/em><\/strong>When signing up for an insurance plan through the Marketplace, you can search for the best plan available based upon your family dynamic and economic status. The Affordable Care Act site informs you if you qualify for premium tax credits and subsidies like cost-sharing reductions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Direct Purchase \u2013 <\/em><\/strong>First, before you commit to purchasing directly from an insurance company, double-check your qualification for tax credits and subsidies. If you don\u2019t, you still have options with a direct purchase from a health insurance provider. In some cases, like with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Texas, you may have additional plan options only available on the insurance company\u2019s website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Types of Insurance<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 <\/em>Insurance companies may offer network options<\/a>, whether through the Marketplace or a direct purchase. The primary three you will see are HMOs, <\/a>EPOs,<\/a> and PPOs. When you are viewing the plans available, insurance companies sometimes allow you to choose your network type based on plans offered. Keep your doctor in mind when searching, they must be within the plan\u2019s network for them to be covered.
