Health insurance for young adults

The number of doctor appointments you think you'll need can help you find the right coverage. Remember: Even young people can get sick and have accidents.

Medications can be expensive. If you take them often, you should see how your prescription drugs are covered and what your cost share will be.

If you like your doctors: See which care networks they're in.  A plan with a smaller network can give you a smaller monthly premium — but you could pay more for out-of-network services.

You don't want to see your income swept away by medical costs — unexpected or otherwise. Your comfort with surprise expenses may help you determine what type of plan to get.

You may be eligible for help to pay premiums and out-of-pocket costs. Your income and other details will confirm what help you can get.

Knowing how health insurance works and what coverage terms mean can help you make the best choice. Learn more here
