Consumers’ Checkbook Plan Comparison Tool
•
With more Marketplace plans than ever before, Get
Covered Illinois is focused on helping consumers
choose the plan that best fits their needs and budget.
•
The Consumers’ Checkbook plan comparison tool is a
robust consumer resource and is available online at:
GetCoveredIllinois.gov/get-help/choosing-plan/.
– The tool is provided through a partnership with The
Chicago Community Trust and the Sargent Shriver
National Center for Poverty Law.
•
The tool helps Navigators, insurance agents and
brokers, and consumers compare plans using
estimated average costs, including out-of-pocket costs,
and a provider search tool.
