Use the Plan Compare Tool
Your decision, just quicker and easier! Compare costs and coverage with the CoverME.gov Plan Compare tool. Check out plan features and benefits side-by-side. Estimate total costs for services, not just premiums or deductibles. Find out which plans cover your doctors and prescription drugs. Log into your CoverME.gov account. Select the green "Plan Compare" button while shopping for plans. If you prefer, you can also window shop without logging in. Go to our Compare Plans & Find Providers page and follow these three easy steps.
- Step 1: Fill out your coverage profile. Answer a few questions to find the right plans and estimate out-of-pocket health care costs.
- Step 2: Compare health plans. Review key plan facts like premium, deductible, out-of-pocket costs, and more.
- Step 3: Select a plan. When you’ve decided which health plan you want, you can view detailed instructions on how to enroll.
Be sure to include your household income to see if you qualify for financial assistance.
Calculate My Income
CoverME.gov and MaineCare all use your Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) to determine your eligibility for coverage and financial assistance. MAGI is your adjusted gross income PLUS any: untaxed foreign income, non-taxable Social Security benefits, and tax-exempt interest. It’s important to note that:
- For many people, MAGI is identical or very close to adjusted gross income.
- MAGI doesn’t include Supplemental Security Income (SSI).
- MAGI does not appear as a line on your tax return.
The CoverME.gov application will ask questions to calculate your MAGI. If you have questions, you can call our Consumer Assistance Center or get free help from a trained and certified Broker or Maine Enrollment Assister.
Complete an application
To complete an application, you will need the following information for yourself and anyone in your household applying for coverage:
- Home and/or mailing addresses
- Birth dates
- Social Security numbers
- Document information for legal immigrants, if applicable
- Employer and income information for every member of your household (for example, pay stubs or W-2 forms)
- Your best estimate of what your household income will be in 2025
- Policy numbers for any current health plans covering members of your household
You need to include everyone in your tax household, even if they do not file taxes or are not looking for health care coverage. Learn more about who to include in your household here.
