Sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, HIX Compare is the only dataset with information on nearly every individual (2014-2024) and small group (2014-2024) marketplace plan, and most off marketplace plans as well. HIX Compare contains information on plan characteristics, such as premiums and benefit design. HIX Compare is a machine readable file available in CSV and Stata formats.
How can HIX Compare be used?
Reporters can create a range of data-driven stories for consumers with HIX Compare's information, from the state of small group coverage in the South to how ER cost-sharing differs between Nevada and New Mexico.
