Action Plan

Learn about what’s covered.

Most health plans must cover a set of preventive services — like shots and screening tests — at no additional cost to you. This includes plans available through the Health Insurance Marketplace.

Read about what health plans cover on HealthCare.gov

Learn about health care costs.

Every month, you’ll pay a premium to your health insurance company. You’re also responsible for the deductible: the amount you spend for covered health services before the company pays.

Learn more about health care costs on HealthCare.gov

Check to see if you qualify for financial assistance.

You might be eligible to get lower costs on your monthly health plan premiums. Or you might qualify for Medicaid or Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
