What Are the Metal Tiers of Covered California Plans?

Covered California plans are grouped into four metal tiers: Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum. These tiers don’t affect the quality of care — they represent how you and your insurance company split the cost of care. 

Here’s what each tier means:

Types of Health Insurance Plans: HMO, PPO, and More Explained

HMO

  • Requires you to choose a primary care doctor
  • Referrals needed for specialists
  • Lowest costs, but limited provider network
  • Great for those who don’t need frequent out-of-network care

PPO

  • More flexibility in choosing providers
  • No referrals needed for specialists
  • Higher costs, but more freedom
  • Ideal for those who want nationwide or broad access

EPO

  • No referrals needed
  • Only covers in-network providers
  • Lower premiums than PPOs, but no out-of-network coverage

How to Choose the Right Plan

Choosing a Covered California health plan isn’t just about picking a metal tier — it’s about matching your plan to your lifestyle, health needs, and budget. At Skyline Benefit, we’re here to help you think it through. Here are some helpful questions to ask yourself:

How often do you visit the doctor?

If you rarely go, a Bronze plan may offer the lowest premiums with basic protection.

Do you have ongoing prescriptions or chronic conditions?

Silver or Gold plans may offer better long-term value with lower out-of-pocket costs.

Do you want to keep your current doctor?

That may affect whether you choose an HMO or PPO plan.

What’s your monthly budget?

You might qualify for a subsidy that lowers your premium significantly — especially if you're part of a low-to-moderate income household.

Still unsure? Don’t worry — our certified agents at Skyline Benefit can walk you through your options and help you Compare Covered California health plans that are right for your needs. No pressure, no cost.

What Affects Your Premiums?

Health insurance premiums through Covered California aren’t one-size-fits-all. Your monthly cost depends on a few key factors:

Your Age

Older individuals typically pay higher premiums than younger ones.

Your Household Size

The number of people in your household affects both your coverage needs and your eligibility for financial help.

Your Income

Lower-income families may qualify for premium subsidies and cost-sharing reductions — making coverage significantly more affordable.

Insurance Plan Choice

Bronze plans tend to have the lowest premiums but higher out-of-pocket costs. Gold or Platinum plans come with higher premiums but lower costs when you get care.

 Example: 
A 35-year-old in Los Angeles might pay $220/month for a Silver plan — or as little as $90/month with a subsidy. 

Skyline Benefit can help you estimate your cost and see how much assistance you qualify for — at no cost to you.
