How we get our data
Our insurance data is sourced directly from the CMS ACA Marketplace (HIOS), the federal database that insurers are required to report to. We process that data to surface standardized out-of-pocket cost estimates based on three SBC scenarios defined by CMS: having a baby, managing diabetes, and treating a fracture. We update our data annually with each new plan year and link to the original SBC documents so you can verify costs directly with the insurer.
