For nearly 30 years, we’re proud to have provided our neighbors and friends with the personal attention and coordinated care they need to live healthy, happy lives.

Choosing the plan that’s right for you and your family
SummaCare understands healthcare needs vary from person to person. That’s why we offer a range of plan options designed to meet the needs of individuals and families looking for health insurance.
Plan categories are based on how you and the plan share your healthcare costs. Generally, plans in categories with lower premiums pay less of your total costs. Categories with higher premiums usually pay more. All plans cover the same set of essential health benefits. Categories have nothing to do with care quality.
Gold Plans
Highest premiums, lowest costs when you need care.
Good choice if: You’re willing to pay more each month to have more costs covered when you get medical treatment. If you access care frequently, a Gold plan could be a good value.
Silver Plans
Moderate premiums, moderate costs when you need care.
Good choice if: You want more of your routine care covered and you’re willing to pay a slightly higher monthly premium than Bronze. Also, a good choice if you qualify for “extra savings,” or cost-sharing reductions.
Bronze Plans
Low premiums, higher costs when you need care.
Good choice if: You want a low-cost way to protect yourself from worst-case medical scenarios, like serious sickness or injury. Your monthly premium will be low, but you’ll have to pay for most routine care yourself.
Catastrophic
Lowest premiums, highest costs when you need care.
Good choice if: You need an affordable way to protect yourself from worst-case scenarios, like a serious illness or injury. However, you will pay most routine medical expenses yourself.
Our plans are available to individuals and families living in Summit, Stark, Portage and Medina counties and feature the SCConnect network. This network provides access to many of the area’s finest physicians, facilities and hospitals including Summa Health, Cleveland Clinic Mercy Hospital and Akron Children’s Hospital. By providing access to this exclusive network of providers, we are able to offer efficient care at lower costs.
