The health plan category you choose determines how you and your plan share the costs of care.
People under 30 and people with hardship exemptions may buy what's called a Catastrophic” health plan. It protects you from very high medical costs.
When choosing a plan, it’s a good idea to think about your total health care costs, not just the bill (the premium”) you pay to your insurance company every month.
If you get a notice from the Marketplace saying that you need to submit documents to confirm that you gained a dependent (or became a dependent) in the past 60 days due to an adoption, foster care placement, or court order, like child support, you can upload or mail the Marketplace documents for the dependent person (for example, the newly adopted child). If more than one person on your application recently became a dependent, you only need to submit documents for one of these people.
If you get a notice from the Marketplace saying that you need to submit documents to confirm your marriage, you can upload or mail the Marketplace documents for the person (or people) on your application who got married in the past 60 days. If 2 people on your application got married to each other, you only need to submit one document that shows both of their names.
If we can't verify your identity, we’ll let you know if you need to submit documents to the Marketplace. Learn how to upload documents.
