How to Pick the Best Covered Texas Plan
Here's a quick guide to choosing the right Texas Exchange plan for your situation:
- Run your quote using the tool above.
- Determine your eligibility for a subsidy (we'll help with that!).
- Choose the right plan level...Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum...based on your needs and budget.
- Ensure your doctors are in-network and that you like the type of network offered.
Let's break each of these steps down in more detail so you feel confident about your choices.
Run Your Texas Quote with Subsidies
The first step is simple: use the quote tool to check your options. It's important because comparing plans without knowing your exact costs is like shopping blind.
The quote tool shows you not just the plan options, but also how much you'll actually pay after any available tax credits or subsidies are applied.
Remember, insurance benefits are standardized from carrier to carrier. A Gold plan from one provider will have similar benefits to another Gold plan from a different provider. This makes it easier to focus on the differences in cost, which is where our quote tool really helps.
Check Your Subsidy Eligibility
Subsidies (aka tax credits) can drastically lower your monthly premiums, and they're based on your income and household size.
Our quote tool will automatically calculate any subsidies you qualify for, so you don't have to guess.
Not sure if you'll qualify? Here's how it works:
- The key figure is your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI), which you'll find on your 1040 tax form.
- The size of your household (everyone who files taxes together) also plays a role.
Even though it can get complicated, we make it easy by handling the calculations for you. If your situation is unique or a little tricky, feel free to reach out to us at help@texasplans.com...we're happy to help!

Choosing the Right Plan Level
Once you've run your quote and know your costs, the next step is picking a plan level that matches your needs and budget. Texas health plans come in four levels: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum.
Here's a quick breakdown:
- Bronze: Lowest premiums, highest out-of-pocket costs.
- Silver: Balanced premiums and out-of-pocket costs.
- Gold: Higher premiums, but lower costs when you get care.
- Platinum: Highest premiums, lowest out-of-pocket expenses.
Your choice should reflect how often you expect to use healthcare services. If you're generally healthy and don't anticipate many doctor visits, a Bronze or Silver plan might work best. On the other hand, if you need frequent care or prescription drugs, Gold or Platinum could save you more in the long run.

Make Sure Your Doctors Are In-Network
Now that you've got a handle on your subsidy and plan level, it's time for an equally important step: checking if your preferred doctors and hospitals are in the plan's network.
This has become a bigger deal in recent years, as insurance networks have shrunk. In fact, they're about 30% smaller than they were before 2014, so it's crucial to ensure your doctors are covered.
Our quote tool allows you to search for plans that include your doctors. But if you have any doubts, we can show you how to double-check by asking your doctor directly. We'll also help you understand the differences between HMO, PPO, and EPO networks:
- HMO: Lower costs, but you need referrals and can only use in-network providers.
- EPO: A middle ground...no referrals needed, but limited to in-network care.
