Platinum plan frequently asked questions (FAQ)
What is the Platinum Plan?
ObamaCare’s Platinum Plan is a type of Metal Plan on the Health Insurance Marketplace. Platinum Plans qualify for Tax Credits and have the highest premiums. A Platinum Plan is designed to incur the lowest out-of-pocket expenses for enrollees. A typical platinum plan enrollee pays approximately 10% of the costs of covered healthcare services with the plan paying the remainder. In comparison, a typical Bronze Plan enrollee pays 40% of covered medical expenses.
How are Platinum Plans different than other Obamacare health plans?

How much does a Platinum Plan cost?
The monthly premium for a Platinum Plan depends on the insurer from whom you purchase the plan, the number of people to be insured by the plan, your age, whether you smoke, and the region in which you live. You can use HealthPocket’s comparison tool to compare Platinum Plan premiums in your area.
