About the chart
Since last fall, we’ve been sharing our research on Massachusetts’ top small group health plans in the form of a plan comparison worksheet. Our goal is to help you get a more complete picture of each plan’s value, from premiums and deductibles to network size, hospital access, and unique benefits.
The included plans are grouped by metallic tier and listed in the order of lowest premiums to highest. We’ve also included information about member cost sharing for some of the most commonly used services, like primary care visits and prescription medications. Finally, the chart contains information about some of the unique perks that come with each plan.
