Where Can I Find Real Reviews of Healthcare.gov Plans?

Plan Benefits Forum

Hey everyone,

The plans on healthcare.gov have star ratings, but they don’t give much insight into what’s behind those ratings. Does anyone know of a site with actual reviews of ACA plans by company or plan name? I’d really like to see real user experiences.

For example, I found out that some BCBS HMO plans base their benefits on ‘Tier’ levels for providers, but finding a ‘Tier 1’ provider seems nearly impossible. Knowing about issues like these in advance would be super helpful!

Thanks for any suggestions!

The rating system details are explained here: healthcare.gov quality ratings. There’s also an in-depth survey document you can find here: CMS quality ratings guide. It’s not like Amazon reviews; it’s based on representative data to keep results fair.

Some states have their own health insurance marketplaces that offer more detailed information, including user reviews and specific plan ratings.
