An Affordable Plan for You and Your Family
A Silver plan may be for you if you:
- Want to pay less out-of-pocket than you would with a Bronze plan
- Have a spouse and dependents
- Have regular health needs each year, like an annual check-up or a few prescriptions
All Blue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico Silver plans offer the same set of essential health benefits, quality and amount of care. The differences are how much your premium costs each month, what portion of the bill you pay for things like hospital visits or prescription medications, and how much your total out-of-pocket costs are.
The Silver has a monthly premium that's likely lower than that of Gold plans and out-of-pocket costs that may cost less than those included in Bronze plans. In most cases, Silver plans cover 70% of costs, while you cover 30%.

Am I able to change my health plan?
There are two “seasons” for Individual and Family health insurance, each with different guidelines for enrolling in a new health plan.
Open Enrollment Period: During Open Enrollment, you’re free to pick a new Individual and Family plan. You don’t have to go through any life changes like you do during Special Enrollment. Open Enrollment starts November 1st and typically lasts just over 2 months, ending January 15th.
Special Enrollment Period: During Special Enrollment, you can choose a new health plan if you’ve gone through certain life changes that affect your coverage. Some of the more common events are losing or changing jobs, getting married, having or adopting a child or moving. Learn more about the Special Enrollment period.
