Should I apply On or Off Exchange?
You should apply on-exchange if you qualify for a subsidy--meaning your income qualifies you for subsidized monthly premiums (and sometimes lower deductibles and co-pays) through the CoveredCA website. Check out their income calculator to see.
You should apply off-exchange if you don't qualify for a subsidy (check out the chart below), prefer private insurance, or otherwise aren't able to apply through CoveredCA.
