On-exchange plans also meet the requirements of the Affordable Care Act (ACA) You can access these plans through Healthcare.gov. If your state has its own site you will be referenced to that site. For example, in Colorado you will be directed to Connect for Health Colorado.
Off the exchange – refers to plans purchased directly from an insurance company or through a broker, rather than through a state or federal marketplace like Healthcare.gov. These plans may offer more flexibility in terms of coverage and pricing, but they do not qualify for premium subsidies or cost-sharing reductions that are available through the exchange.
