Health plans are categorized as Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Catastrophic. What does this mean?

Health insurance companies organize their plans into these different coverage levels (sometimes called “metal tiers”): Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Catastrophic. Each level represents a plan’s general approach to sharing costs with you.

You can apply your financial help to any one of the metal tier plans, except for the Catastrophic plans. Although prices vary between plans and insurance companies, all Colorado Option plans have the same benefits, copayments, deductibles and out-of-pocket maximum costs within a specific coverage level across all health insurance companies.
