2014 Open Enrollment Ended March 31, What Are My Options?

Understanding Your 2014 Plan Benefit and Options
All plans have the same benefits. The monthly amount you pay for your medical care will vary depending on:
- Metallic Plan Level: Bronze, Silver or Gold
- Number of people to be covered by the health plan
- Ages of people covered
- Tobacco usage
- Location
10 Essential Benefits
Healthcare reform says all health plans must include ten essential benefits. The basic benefits include:
- Outpatient Care – the care you receive without being admitted to a hospital
- Emergency Room – trips to the emergency room
- Inpatient Care – treatment in the hospital for inpatient care
- Maternity and Newborn Care – care before and after your baby is born
- Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Services – this includes behavioral health treatment, counseling, and psychotherapy
- Prescription drug coverage
- Rehabilitative and Habilitative Services – services and devices to help you recover if you are injured, or have a disability or chronic condition. This includes physical and occupational therapy, speech-language pathology, psychiatric rehabilitation, and more
- Laboratory Services – lab tests
- Preventive and Wellness Services – services including counseling, screenings, and vaccines to keep you healthy and to manage a chronic illness
- Pediatric Services – including dental and vision care for children*
* Plans offered inside and outside of the healthcare.gov have pediatric dental benefits built into them, regardless of whether dependents are being covered on the plan. The additional cost for this benefit is minimal.
