Look beyond the premium
What should you compare before enrolling?
A low monthly premium does not always mean the lowest total healthcare cost. Compare these four details before selecting an Ambetter plan.
Doctors and hospitals
Confirm that your preferred primary doctor, specialists, hospitals, and facilities participate in the exact plan network.
Prescription coverage
Check the plan formulary, medication tiers, preferred pharmacies, and any prior-authorization requirements.
Deductible and cost sharing
Review copayments, coinsurance, the medical and prescription deductibles, and when each cost applies.
Annual out-of-pocket limit
Compare the most you could pay for covered in-network care during the year, not only the monthly premium.
