What the Numbers Say About Coffee
Coffee, Alabama has 43 ACA marketplace plans offered by 3 issuers for plan year 2026. The average Silver-tier premium comes in at $561/mo for a 27-year-old non-tobacco user, with the lowest Silver at $520 and the highest at $612. Bronze plans start at $362/mo — useful for healthy enrollees who want catastrophic protection with the lowest monthly outlay.
The benchmark (second-lowest Silver) premium is $524/mo, the figure the IRS uses to calculate your Advance Premium Tax Credit. Enrollees whose expected income-based contribution falls below this amount receive a subsidy for the difference. Across all plans, the average annual deductible is $5,060 and the average out-of-pocket maximum is $8,931 — numbers that matter more than the sticker premium once you actually use care. Year-over-year, average premiums in Coffee shifted by +31.1%, a signal of how local issuer pricing and risk-pool dynamics are trending.
Issuer count is one of the strongest predictors of affordability: with 3 issuers active in Coffee, consumers have some competitive choice, though narrower than the most competitive counties.
