Georgia Access Marketplace Plans

Every exchange plan covers pre-existing conditions and essential benefits. Also, losing job coverage opens a 60-day window to enroll.

  • Open Enrollment begins November 1
  • Plans from bronze through platinum
  • Tax credits tied to household income

Read our ACA marketplace plans page and our guide to options after losing a job. Or simply call 888-730-6001.

Short-Term Plans

In Georgia, short-term terms run 1 month to just under 12 months; ask an agent for options. Even so, UnitedHealthcare short-term plans are medically underwritten and are not ACA plans.

See how they work on our short-term health insurance page.

Tri-Term Plans

When a job search or sabbatical may run longer, UnitedHealthcare tri-term plans can help. TriTerm Medical offers nearly 3 years of coverage over three terms with one application; premiums may change. As a result, one approval carries you through.

Details sit on our tri-term insurance page.

Health Insurance Sandy Springs FAQs

Below are the health insurance Sandy Springs questions we hear most from Perimeter-area callers. They focus on Sandy Springs health plans and local situations. For statewide rules, open our Georgia coverage questions library or call 888-730-6001.

Is COBRA or a Georgia Access plan cheaper after a layoff?

It depends on your income and health needs. COBRA can cost up to 102 percent of the full premium. Meanwhile, an exchange plan with a tax credit may cost far less.

Do Sandy Springs and Atlanta residents pay the same prices?

Generally, yes. Both sit in Georgia rating area 3, which covers 21 metro counties. Insurer lineups can still differ by county, though.

Can I keep my Northside doctor on a new plan?

Possibly. Each insurer contracts with hospitals separately, so we confirm each doctor on Sandy Springs health plans.

If I drop COBRA early, can I switch to an exchange plan?

Not right away, in most cases. Voluntarily dropping COBRA outside Open Enrollment does not open a Special Enrollment Period.

I just moved here for a job without benefits. What can I buy?

A move to Georgia can open a Special Enrollment Period if you had qualifying coverage before. Otherwise, short-term coverage is available all year.

Does my severance count as income for tax credits?

Yes. Severance is taxable income, so it counts toward your yearly estimate. For that reason, time your application carefully.

Can Vivna help Sandy Springs residents remotely?

Certainly. We work by phone and online, so you never fight Perimeter traffic. Plus, our agents know Georgia rules well.
