At Health for California, we know that finding the right health insurance provider can be daunting. You want to pick the package that works best for you and your entire family. And with so many options and packages on the market, you may wonder where to begin. Health for California’s mission is to make this process easier for every Californian. We want you to feel confident about your decision, so we structure our plans for easy comparisons to help you find the one that meets your needs.

We do this by breaking our health insurance plans down into easy-to-understand tiers. Whether you’re a single individual wanting an affordable rate or you’re someone who wants maximum coverage for the whole family, there’s a package that’s perfect for you. Here are the tiers of Anthem Blue Cross coverage you can choose from:

• Bronze 60 Plan: This plan is ideal for individuals who want to make small monthly payments in return for a small number of checkups and preventative care actions. Keep in mind that if you choose this plan, you’ll have to pay more upfront every time you see a specialist. If you have no dependents and expect few visits to the doctor this year, you can feel confident choosing the Bronze Plan.
• Silver 70 Plan: Individuals who work hard to keep their health in good condition may want to choose the Silver Plan. In this plan, you’ll make average monthly payments to receive all the basics you might need as an individual in California. You’ll still have to pay out-of-pocket for hospital visits or outpatient surgeries.
• Gold 80 Plan: The Gold Plan is a great choice for individuals or small families looking for comprehensive coverage for modest monthly payments. While you may be paying more than the Bronze and Silver Plans, you’ll have a lower deductible every time you visit the hospital or see a specialist, which can save you more money over time.
• Platinum 90 Plan: When you choose the Platinum Plan, you’ll make higher monthly payments in exchange for top-tier health insurance coverage. This coverage includes regular visits to the physician or emergency room plus preventative care. And the best part is you get to skip the deductible and keep more money in your pocket. The Platinum Plan is perfect for families looking for great coverage while reducing their out-of-pocket expenses.
