Before subsidies, the average benchmark silver plan for a 40-year-old in Pennsylvania costs $648 a month for 2027 (the national average is $704). Premium tax credits bring that down for many households, depending on income and family size.

Call 866-645-8540What a broker can compare for you
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.
Do brokers cost more?
No. Health insurers pay brokers a commission that's already part of the premium. You pay the same price for a plan whether you buy it yourself or through a broker.
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 Pennsylvania.
Carriers a Richboro broker can quote
For 2027, marketplace plans in Pennsylvania come from 9 insurers: Highmark (Highmark Inc. / Highmark Benefits Group), Independence Blue Cross (Keystone Health Plan East / QCC), Capital Blue Cross (Capital Advantage Assurance), Geisinger (Geisinger Health Plan / Geisinger Quality Options), UPMC Health Plan (UPMC Health Plan / UPMC Health Network), Jefferson Health Plans (Health Partners Plans), Ambetter Health of Pennsylvania, Oscar Health and Partners Insurance Company. Not every insurer sells in every county. An independent broker appointed with several of them can compare prices and networks side by side.

- Compare total yearly cost (premiums plus deductible), not just the monthly premium.
- Check that the agent's license is active with the state regulator.
- Make a list of your doctors, hospitals and prescriptions before you call anyone.
