What Is an Individual or Family Health Plan?

Individual and family health insurance plans are designed for people who do not have coverage through an employer. You can buy coverage directly from the insurance carrier or through the Health Insurance Marketplace, also called the Exchange or healthcare.gov.
Whether you are self-employed, between jobs, or simply want to compare your current coverage, qualified health plans in Oregon provide options to protect your health and your finances.
These plans cover essential health benefits, including:
• Prescription drugs
• Hospital stays & surgeries
• Preventive care & annual checkups
• Maternity & newborn care
• Pediatric services for children
• Mental health services

Qualified Health Plans in Oregon

Plans are organized by “metal tiers” called Bronze, Silver, and Gold.

These tiers do not change the quality of care you receive. Instead, they reflect how costs are shared between you and the insurance company. Bronze plans usually have lower monthly premiums but higher out-of-pocket costs. Gold plans have higher premiums but lower costs when you use care. Each carrier also has HSA (health savings account) qualified plans.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires qualified health plans to meet certain standards. Every qualified plan in Oregon must include:

Essential health benefits listed above

Coverage for pre-existing conditions

Preventive care at no cost to you

out-of-pocket expense Limitations 

Optional Coverage

Additional coverages available:

Financial Help May Be Available

Many Oregonians qualify for subsidies that make health insurance more affordable. These include:

  • Premium tax credits that lower your monthly payment
  • Cost-sharing reductions that lower deductibles, copays, and coinsurance

We help you determine if you qualify for financial assistance and ensure you receive the maximum savings available.

FAQs

While health insurance is available to all Oregonians, these plans are typically purchased by people who do not have access to affordable employer-sponsored coverage, Medicare, or Medicaid. These plans are especially common for individuals who are self-employed, or between jobs, and their family members.

The main opportunity is during the Open Enrollment Period, which usually runs from November through mid-January. You may also qualify for a Special Enrollment Period if you lose your health insurance coverage.

On-exchange plans are available through the Health Insurance Marketplace and may qualify for subsidies that lower your costs. Off-exchange plans are purchased directly from insurance companies. Both types must meet ACA standards, but only on-exchange plans offer financial assistance to qualified applicants.

Many Oregonians qualify for financial help based on household income and family size. Subsidies come in two forms: premium tax credits that lower your monthly payment and cost-sharing reductions that reduce your out-of-pocket costs for care. We help you determine your eligibility for premium assistance and cost sharing reductions.

Metal tiers (Bronze, Silver, Gold) show how you and the insurance company share costs. Bronze plans usually have the lowest monthly premiums but higher costs when you receive care. Gold plans have higher premiums but lower out-of-pocket costs. The right choice depends on your budget and how often you use healthcare services.

Yes. All qualified health plans must cover pre-existing conditions. Insurance companies cannot deny you coverage or charge you more based on your medical history.

Yes. Family health insurance plans can include coverage for your children. Pediatric services, including dental and vision for kids, are part of many plans.

Costs depend on the plan you choose, your household income, your age, and whether you qualify for subsidies. We compare plans side by side and help you estimate your monthly premium and out-of-pocket costs before you enroll.

Yes. Our services cost you nothing. We are paid by the insurance companies, so you get expert help at no additional charge.

An HSA-qualified health plan is a type of High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) that allows you to open a Health Savings Account (HSA). With an HSA, you can set aside money tax-free to pay for qualified medical expenses such as deductibles, copays, prescriptions, dental, and vision care.

To qualify, the plan must meet IRS requirements for minimum deductibles and maximum out-of-pocket costs. These plans usually have higher deductibles, which makes them a good fit for people who want to save on premiums and who do not expect frequent medical expenses.

Starting in 2026, all the Individual/Family Bronze plans are HSA qualified. If you have a Bronze plan, you can fund an HSA.
