ACA Marketplace plans in Maine

Looking for ACA marketplace health insurance in Maine? Here is how this coverage lane works specifically for Maine residents, what it costs, and how to get it.

Maine residents buy ACA Marketplace plans through CoverME.gov. These are comprehensive plans that cover the ten essential health benefits, cannot deny you for a pre-existing condition, and are the only plans eligible for income-based premium tax credits.

Because Maine runs a state-based marketplace, you enroll at CoverME.gov. Plans and prices are set at the county level across Maine's 16 counties, so two neighbors in different counties can see different options.

Maine expanded Medicaid, so if your income is low you may qualify for Medicaid instead of a subsidized plan — the Marketplace will tell you when you apply.

Maine runs a state-based marketplace (CoverME.gov). Residents should enroll through CoverME.gov, and plan menus are set at the county level across 16 counties.

Because Maine expanded Medicaid, a marketplace application may route lower-income adults to Medicaid instead of a subsidized private plan — that is usually good news for cost.

With an approximate uninsured rate near 6.0% and a population of about 1.4 million, Maine shoppers should re-check subsidies each year as income and household size change.
