How the Virginia exchange works
Virginia uses a state marketplace, Virginia's Insurance Marketplace, for ACA individual and family plan enrollment. The marketplace is where eligible residents can compare qualified health plans and check whether premium tax credits or cost-sharing reductions may lower costs.
Marketplace plans are grouped into metal levels. Bronze plans usually have lower monthly premiums and higher costs when care is used. Silver plans are important to review because cost-sharing reductions, when available, are usually tied to Silver plans.

What to check before choosing a plan
- Your household income estimate for the coverage year.
- Whether your doctors, clinics, and hospitals are in-network.
- How prescriptions are covered and which pharmacy tier applies.
- The deductible, copays, coinsurance, and out-of-pocket maximum.
- Whether you qualify for open enrollment or a special enrollment period.
