Worked Example
Let's calculate an example premium for a 35-year-old individual with Silver coverage:
Example Calculation:
Base Rate = $200
Age Factor (35) = 1.1
Coverage Factor (Silver) = 1.2
Plan Factor (Silver) = 1.0
State Surcharge = $50
Premium = ($200 × 1.1 × 1.2 × 1.0) + $50 = $264 + $50 = $214
In this example, the estimated premium would be $214 per month. Remember, this is an estimate and your actual premium may vary.
