Premiums

The premium is the amount you pay each month for your health insurance. Premiums are paid to the insurance company (not the Health Insurance Marketplace). 

Most plans also require you to pay out-of-pocket costs, which include your deductible, copayments, and coinsurance.

Generally, plans with lower premiums have higher deductibles and/or lower levels of health coverage.
