Common questions

Many companies.
Many plans to sort.

In 2026, Broward County had 197 Marketplace plans from 10 companies. Here are three common questions for people who live in Fort Lauderdale.

“There are so many plans. Where do I start?”

Start with your doctors. In 2026, Broward County had 197 Marketplace plans from 10 companies. We first keep only the plans that include the doctors and hospital you use. Then we compare cost.

“Is my hospital in the plan?”

In 2026, 146 of Broward County's 197 Marketplace plans were HMOs. An HMO usually pays only for doctors and hospitals in its network, except in an emergency.

“Will my tax credit be the same as last year?”

Maybe not. As of October 4, 2026, under current law, the extra help some people got in past years ended after 2025, and Congress has not brought it back. If your income is over 400% of the poverty level, you generally can't get a tax credit. Near that level, your credit may be small.

What you get

A long list,
made clear.

If you pick from 197 plans by monthly price alone, you may miss what matters most. Your doctor might not be in the plan, or the deductible may be more than you expected. Here is what you take away from our call:

  • Your doctors and hospital looked up in each plan you are thinking about
  • A tax credit estimate you understand, and a plan to update it if your income changes
  • Monthly price, deductible, and copays for each plan in one view
  • A plan chosen by December 15, 2026 (the deadline under current law), so coverage can begin January 1, 2027, after the first premium is paid

Hospitals in Fort Lauderdale

Hospital networks change from one Broward County plan to the next. Search each plan's directory for the ones you use before you choose.

Straight answers

Fort Lauderdale health insurance questions.

Which companies offered Marketplace plans in Broward County for 2026?

Broward County plans for 2026 came from 10 companies: 22 Health, Ambetter Health, AmeriHealth Caritas Next, AvMed, Cigna Healthcare, Florida Blue, Molina Healthcare, Oscar, UnitedHealthcare, and Wellpoint. The 2027 list should be posted around November 1, 2026, when open enrollment starts.

Is Broward Health Medical Center in every plan?

Don't assume it is. Each plan sets its own network, and most Broward County plans are HMOs. Search for the hospital in each plan's directory before you enroll. We can search with you.

Can I get a PPO in Broward County?

A few. Of Broward County's 197 Marketplace plans for 2026, 14 were PPOs. Another 27 were EPOs and 10 were POS plans, and each type treats out-of-network doctors differently. If your tax credit is small or zero, a private PPO plan may be another option to look at. Some private plans ask health questions, and approval is not guaranteed. Some may not cover care for health problems you had before you enrolled.

My income changes from month to month. What should I put on my application?

Use your best honest guess for the whole year. If your income goes up or down during the year, update your application quickly. That helps keep your tax credit closer to right, so you are less likely to owe money at tax time.

What if my income is very low?

As of October 4, 2026, Florida has not expanded Medicaid. Some adults with income below the poverty level do not qualify for Medicaid or for a tax credit. It is still worth applying, because children, pregnant women, and people with disabilities may qualify. Community health centers also charge based on what you can pay.

When is open enrollment for 2027 coverage?

As of October 4, 2026, under current law, you can sign up from November 1, 2026, through January 15, 2027. A court case about these dates is still on appeal, so check HealthCare.gov. To start coverage January 1, pick a plan by December 15. Outside those dates, you usually need a life event, such as a move or losing other coverage. Our Florida open enrollment guide has the details.

Open enrollment starts November 1
