Compare plansFrequently asked questions about ACA insurance in Idaho
What is the health insurance marketplace in Idaho?
The Idaho (ID) health insurance marketplace is Your Health Idaho (https://www.yourhealthidaho.org/), a state-based ACA exchange where residents compare and enroll in qualified health plans. Policymage lists 59 plans with live premium data. Open Enrollment runs November 1 through December 15.
How do I compare health insurance plans in Idaho?
Use policymage.com/get-quotes: enter your ZIP code, household ages, and income. Policymage fetches ACA Marketplace plans for your county, calculates APTC subsidies, and lets you compare up to 3 plans side-by-side on premium, deductible, network, and benefits. Free, no account, no broker bias. Plans in Idaho start from $255.69/month before subsidies.
Which Medicaid plan is best in Idaho?
There is no single "best" Medicaid plan in Idaho — Medicaid is administered through MCOs such as Blue Cross of Idaho, Regence BlueShield of Idaho, PacificSource Health Plans. The right plan depends on your county, doctors, and prescriptions. Medicaid (income up to 138% FPL, ~$21,597/year for an individual) is separate from ACA Marketplace plans at Your Health Idaho. Apply year-round through your state Medicaid office.
Is short-term health insurance available in Idaho?
Short-term health insurance is sold outside the ACA Marketplace in Idaho by private insurers. These plans are not ACA-compliant: they can exclude pre-existing conditions, skip Essential Health Benefits, and lack guaranteed renewal. For comprehensive coverage with subsidies, enroll in an ACA Marketplace plan at Your Health Idaho during Open Enrollment (Nov 1–December 15). See policymage.com/faq for more on short-term vs ACA plans.
How much is health insurance in ID?
Health insurance in ID starts as low as $255.69/month for a 30-year-old on a Bronze plan before subsidies. Most Idaho residents who qualify for APTC pay significantly less — some as low as $0/month for a Silver plan.
What is the cheapest health insurance option in ID for 2026?
The cheapest ACA option in ID for 2026 is typically a Bronze-tier plan or, for residents under 30, a catastrophic plan — both carry the lowest monthly premium in exchange for a higher deductible. Compare exact Idaho plans and prices at policymage.com/get-quotes.
When does Open Enrollment end in Idaho for ACA plans?
Open Enrollment for Idaho residents runs from November 1 through December 15. Idaho runs its own exchange (Your Health Idaho), which set the December 15 deadline. Outside Open Enrollment, you need a Qualifying Life Event to enroll in a Special Enrollment Period.
How much does ACA health insurance cost in Idaho?
Bronze-tier plans in Idaho start as low as $255.69/month for a 30-year-old before subsidies. With APTC tax credits, many Idaho residents pay $0–$50/month for Bronze coverage. Costs vary by age, county, tobacco use, and household size.
Does Idaho use HealthCare.gov or its own state exchange?
Idaho runs its own state-based Marketplace called Your Health Idaho (https://www.yourhealthidaho.org/). You enroll there directly — not at HealthCare.gov. Plan offerings, enrollment dates, and customer support are managed by Idaho, not the federal government.
Has Idaho expanded Medicaid under the ACA?
Yes. Idaho has expanded Medicaid, so adults with household income up to 138% of the Federal Poverty Level (approximately $21,597/year for an individual) qualify for free or very low-cost Medicaid. There's no Open Enrollment window — you can apply year-round.
What are the income limits for ACA subsidies in Idaho?
Premium Tax Credit eligibility starts at 100% of the Federal Poverty Level — about $15,650/year for an individual or $32,300/year for a family of 4. Idaho residents above 400% FPL still qualify if benchmark Silver costs more than 8.5% of their income. Use the Your Health Idaho subsidy calculator for your exact estimate.
What are the metal tiers in Idaho (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum)?
Idaho ACA plans come in four metal tiers based on actuarial value (the percentage of medical costs the plan covers on average): Bronze (~60%), Silver (~70%), Gold (~80%), and Platinum (~90%). Bronze has the lowest premium and highest deductible; Platinum has the highest premium and lowest deductible. Silver is the "benchmark" tier used to calculate APTC subsidies, and it's the only tier eligible for Cost-Sharing Reductions if you qualify by income.
Are HSA-eligible plans available in Idaho?
Yes. HSA-eligible High-Deductible Health Plans (HDHPs) are available in Idaho through Your Health Idaho. For 2026, HDHPs must have a deductible of at least $1,650 (individual) or $3,300 (family), and you can contribute up to $4,300 (individual) or $8,550 (family) to your HSA pre-tax. HSA contributions roll over year-to-year and can be invested.
Do Idaho ACA plans cover dental and vision?
Idaho ACA Marketplace plans for adults include preventive care, mental health, prescriptions, hospitalization, and the 10 Essential Health Benefits — but adult dental and vision are not federally required. Most Idaho plans cover pediatric dental and vision automatically. For adult dental/vision, you typically buy a separate standalone plan through Your Health Idaho or directly from an insurer.
What is a Qualifying Life Event for Special Enrollment in Idaho?
Outside Open Enrollment, Idaho residents can enroll in or change ACA plans within 60 days of a Qualifying Life Event: loss of other health coverage, marriage or divorce, birth or adoption of a child, moving to a new county or state, a change in income that affects subsidy eligibility, becoming a US citizen, or release from incarceration. Have documentation ready when applying through Your Health Idaho.
How do I find in-network doctors and hospitals in Idaho?
Each Idaho ACA plan has its own provider network. Before enrolling, look up the plan on Your Health Idaho, click the carrier name to access their provider directory, and search for your specific doctors and preferred hospitals by name. Out-of-network care typically isn't covered (HMO plans) or costs significantly more (PPO plans). If you have an existing provider relationship, network match is usually more important than the lowest premium.
