What the Numbers Say About Lyon
Lyon, Iowa has 28 ACA marketplace plans offered by 3 issuers for plan year 2026. The average Silver-tier premium comes in at $573/mo for a 27-year-old non-tobacco user, with the lowest Silver at $458 and the highest at $760.
The benchmark (second-lowest Silver) premium is $468/mo, the figure used to calculate your Advance Premium Tax Credit (the federal subsidy). Enrollees whose expected income-based contribution falls below this amount receive a subsidy for the difference. Across all plans, the average annual deductible is $5,161 and the average out-of-pocket maximum is $9,079 - numbers that matter more than the sticker premium once you actually use care. Year-over-year, average premiums in Lyon shifted by +21.9%, 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 Lyon, consumers have some competitive choice, though narrower than the most competitive counties. Network types split fairly evenly here between PPO and EPO, so comparing referral rules and out-of-network coverage across those two matters as much as comparing metal tiers.
