Premiums, deductibles and out-of-pocket maximums; which doctors and hospitals are in each network; whether your prescriptions are covered; and whether you qualify for a premium tax credit.

Broker or agent: what's the difference?
A captive agent sells one company's plans. An independent agent or broker is appointed with several insurers and can compare them. In everyday use the words overlap, so ask any office which carriers it can quote in Colorado.
Carriers a Black Forest broker can quote
For 2027, marketplace plans in Colorado come from 6 insurers: Anthem (HMO Colorado), Denver Health Medical Plan, Kaiser Permanente, Rocky Mountain Health Plans (UnitedHealthcare), SelectHealth and Colorado Access. Not every insurer sells in every county. An independent broker appointed with several of them can compare prices and networks side by side.
A quick checklist
- Ask each agent which carriers they can quote in your county.
- Make a list of your doctors, hospitals and prescriptions before you call anyone.
- Have a realistic estimate of next year's household income; subsidies are based on it.
- Check that the agent's license is active with the state regulator.
