The Marketplace and us, side by side
| Topic | Marketplace | ObamaCare Hotline |
|---|---|---|
| What it is | The Marketplace itself: Get Covered Illinois (state) or HealthCare.gov (federal) | A licensed insurance agency that helps you use the Marketplace |
| A government site? | Yes | No. We are a private company |
| Cost of the help | Help from the Marketplace call center and navigators is free. You pay the plan’s premium | Nothing for our help. You pay the same premium whether you enroll with us or on your own |
| Your doctors | Each plan lists its own network | We check your doctors and prescriptions against each plan before you choose |
| After you enroll | Renewals and letters come from the Marketplace and your insurer | Renewals, letters and claims questions come back to the same team |
What we do not do
- We are not HealthCare.gov or Get Covered Illinois, and we are not a government site. We help you use them.
- We cannot promise a tax credit amount. It depends on your income and household.
- Short-term plans are not Marketplace plans and are not ACA-compliant. They generally exclude pre-existing conditions. Read how short-term plans differ before you consider one.
