No individual applying for health coverage through the individual marketplace will be discouraged from applying for benefits, turned down for coverage or charged more premium because of health status, medical condition, mental illness claims experience, medical history, genetic information or health disability. In addition, no individual will be denied coverage based on race, color, religion, national origin, sex, sexual orientation, marital status, personal appearance, political affiliation or source of income.
Major medical plans usually cover hospital and medical expenses for an accident or illness. Some of them may also cover preventive care and office visits. These plans usually cover a percentage of your covered costs. Example: the plan pays 80% of your hospital stay and you pay the other 20%. With these plans, you are covered for any licensed health providers.
Whether you choose a major medical plan, an HMO or a PPP, your plan will probably have some \"cost-sharing\" features. This means that you share the cost of care by paying part of the charge for each service and the insurance company pays the rest. Pick a plan that works best with the type of health insurance you think you will use. Different cost sharing features are listed below:
A deductible is the amount you pay before the plan starts to pay for most covered services. You usually must pay your deductible first, and then your other cost sharing begins, such as copays and coinsurance.
There are many different ways that you can buy a health plan in Massachusetts. Many people get their health plan through their place of employment. For people that can't do this, there are several other ways to get a health plan.

Massachusetts residents can buy health plans directly from an insurance company. And the company can't turn you down if you have a health condition. Sometimes the company will direct you to purchase their health plan through an intermediary. An intermediary is a company that takes care of the enrollment and premiums.
If you do not work for an employer that pays at least 33% of your health plan premium, you may be able to purchase a health plan from the Connector. These are plans offered by Massachusetts HMOs that the Connector has picked to have good value.
You may be eligible for subsidies to help you pay the premiums, depending on your income. Any Massachusetts resident can enroll in a health plan during the annual open enrollment period.

When choosing a health plan, it is important to consider the differences between your options. Some plans provide more generous coverage, while others could leave you responsible for high medical bills. Shopping for health insurance can be overwhelming, but remember, if the plan sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
Do not buy a discount plan as an alternative to health plan coverage. Discount plans charge a monthly fee in exchange for access to health care services at a reduced fee. These plans are not insurance and do not make any payments when you need health care services. Instead, they allow you to get a discount off of some of your medical charges. Discount plans may look like a cheap health plan, but they are not health insurance and they do not meet your Massachusetts \"individual mandate\" requirement for health coverage. You should check with your doctor or local pharmacist to ask whether you will receive any real savings before you give your money or your personal information to anyone offering health care discounts.
These plans allow groups of people with a religious affiliation to share in the costs of certain specified health care costs. HCSMs are not insurance and not supervised by state insurance departments. Members typically pay a monthly fee that allows them to submit qualifying medical expenses for sharing with other HCSM members. There are not specific consumer protections that apply to these plans. They may not guarantee any payments, and they do not necessarily pay expenses for the same kinds of services that health insurance covers.
Always take a close look at plan benefits and limitations before you sign up or pay any fees. That way you can see in advance if the plan is right for you and your family. Ask what benefits the plan does and does not cover, what benefits have limits; ask whether the plan covers your prescription drugs; ask where you can view a list of the health care providers in the plan's network.
Do not be fooled by bogus health plans selling on the internet or through unsolicited faxes or phone calls. You should always be careful when surfing the web. Review any website carefully and look for disclaimers such as \"this is not insurance\" or \"not available in Massachusetts.\"
When you do find a health plan that looks like it meets your needs, check the Division of Insurance website or call to find out if the company is licensed to sell that type of insurance in Massachusetts before you commit to buying the product. Be careful not to give out personal information or make a payment in response to an unsolicited fax or without checking it out first.
If you are unsure about the insurance company you are dealing with, STOP before signing any paperwork or writing a check; CALL the DOI; and CONFIRM the company or agent offering insurance is legitimate and licensed in the state.
