ACA health insurance in Safety Harbor: a small city with a major hospital

Safety Harbor is a small city of about 17,000 people (2020 census) on the west shore of Tampa Bay. It was incorporated in 1917 and is known for its historic downtown and the Safety Harbor Resort & Spa, and it is close to Clearwater and Oldsmar.

BayCare’s Mease Countryside Hospital, a 387-bed hospital at 3231 McMullen Booth Road, is in Safety Harbor and has a Jacobsen ER. With a large hospital right in town, the practical question is whether Mease Countryside and your own doctors are in the network of the plan you choose.

How to choose an ACA plan in Safety Harbor

Network

Look at each plan’s network and determine if your preferred providers are in-network locally in Safety Harbor. If your doctor is not in-network with a plan you are considering but you want to continue to see them, you may want to consider a different plan. You can always ask your doctor directly if they take the health plan you’re considering. If you don’t have any preferred providers, look for plans with large networks and doctors near you.

Cost

Examine the out-of-pocket cost differences between plans, including the deductible, copayments, and coinsurance of each plan. While a low premium can be appealing, it may lead to higher out-of-pocket costs, especially if you have a chronic condition or frequently need emergency care or extra visits with a doctor. However, if you know you’re in good health and don’t often need medical care, paying a higher premium may not be the right fit for you. Balance cost and coverage according to your financial and medical needs.

Benefits

While benefits are not often as important as a factor as network and cost are, it can be helpful in narrowing down your options. Compare the summary of benefits for each plan option you’re considering. See if any of your plans offers a wider range of services, like coverage for mental health care, fertility treatments or emergency coverage. If so, you’ll want to choose the plan with the benefits that help you and your family the most.

Check your savings

Depending on your income, you may qualify for premium tax credits that lower your monthly cost. We will check for you at no charge.
