Metal Gap Insurance: Affordable Protection for Life’s Unexpected Medical Bills
Even with a great Affordable Care Act (ACA) health plan, high deductibles and unexpected medical expenses can put a strain on your budget. Metal Gap Insurance helps protect you from those surprise costs by filling in the financial “gaps” that major medical insurance doesn’t fully cover.
At Michael Sailor Insurance, we help individuals and families customize their coverage so that one accident or illness doesn’t turn into a long-term financial setback.
What Is Metal Gap Insurance?
Metal Gap is supplemental insurance that works alongside your existing ACA plan. It provides a cash benefit if you experience a covered accident, hospitalization, or critical illness. That money can be used for:
- Deductibles
- Copays and coinsurance
- Medications and treatments
- Travel or lodging for care
- Everyday bills while you recover
Think of it as a financial safety net that gives you more control, less stress, and fewer surprises.
Why Individuals & Families Choose Metal Gap Coverage
Metal Gap is especially valuable for Bronze and Silver ACA plans, where out-of-pocket costs can be the highest. By pairing Metal Gap with your ACA plan, you can:
- Reduce your financial risk
- Lower your exposure to high deductibles
- Avoid dipping into savings
- Protect your family from medical debt
- Gain peace of mind after an accident or illness
Best of all, Metal Gap plans are budget-friendly—often costing far less than upgrading to a richer major medical plan.
