Health insurance plans in Alabama

Cheapest premium
These are benchmark premiums, not your price. Every dollar figure here is the individual rate at age 21 for a non-tobacco user, before any premium tax credit — the standard way plans are compared like for like. What you actually pay depends on your age, county, household and income. Estimate your real cost.

Alabama Silver premiums rank 14th cheapest of 35.

Averaged across all 21 plans, Silver coverage in Alabama costs $500 a month before subsidies — 14th lowest of the 35 states with federal-marketplace data. Premiums vary far more by county and age than this single number suggests.

Catastrophic and other coverage

Some states also offer Catastrophic plans, which carry very low premiums and very high deductibles and are limited to people under 30 or those with a hardship exemption. They are a small share of the market and are not broken out into their own page here — you can find any available in Alabama on the full Alabama plan list. Platinum plans are rare on the federal Marketplace and are absent from most states.
