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.

Only two insurers sell Bronze plans in Alaska.

All 6 Bronze plans on the Alaska Marketplace come from Moda Health Plan, Inc and Premera Blue Cross Blue Shield of Alaska. With the whole tier split between two carriers, the network question comes first: confirm which of the two covers your providers, then compare plan designs inside that one.

Alaska has one of the smallest Bronze markets in the country.

There are just 6 Bronze plans here from 2 insurers, against an average of about 44 per state. Fewer options makes the comparison quicker, but it also means a single plan's network or drug list can decide the whole decision.

Metal tiers describe roughly what share of covered costs a plan pays, not the quality of its care or network. How the metal tiers actually differ walks through the trade, and how ACA subsidies work explains why the prices below are rarely what anyone pays.

Common questions

Alaska Bronze plans, answered

What are the copays on a Alaska Bronze plan?
Copays vary plan by plan rather than by tier — the metal level sets roughly what share of total care costs the plan covers, not the individual amounts. Across the 6 Bronze plans in Alaska, deductibles average $6,525 and the out-of-pocket maximum averages $8,958. Open any plan below to see its full cost-sharing schedule, including primary care, specialist and prescription tiers.
Who is eligible for a Bronze plan in Alaska?
Any Alaska Marketplace shopper can choose Bronze. It carries the lowest premiums and the highest deductibles, and it is the tier most often paired with a health savings account. One trade-off worth knowing: choosing Bronze rather than Silver forfeits cost-sharing reductions entirely if your income would have qualified you for them.
What is the deductible on a Alaska Bronze plan?
The average across all 6 Bronze plans in Alaska is $6,525, with an average out-of-pocket maximum of $8,958. The range within the tier is wide, so two plans at a similar premium can differ by thousands in what you would actually pay during a year with significant care. Deductible is usually a better basis for comparison than premium alone.
Are Bronze plans available in my Alaska county?
Bronze plans are sold in 13 Alaska counties, from 2 insurers. Which specific plans you can buy depends on where you live — a plan offered in a metro county is often not sold in a rural one. Enter your ZIP code to narrow the list to plans actually available to you.
When can I enroll in a Alaska Marketplace plan?
Alaska uses the federal Marketplace, so open enrollment runs November 1 to January 15. Outside that window you need a qualifying life event — losing job-based coverage, moving, marriage, or a birth — to open a special enrollment period. Cheapest Bronze premiums in Alaska start at $507 a month before any subsidy.
