Health insurance plans in Harrison County, Mississippi (2026)

I pulled every 2026 marketplace plan sold in Harrison County, Mississippi out of the official CMS plan file. There are 41 plans from four carriers, and a 40 year old in Harrison pays $657 a month at full price for the benchmark silver plan. That is $19 more than in Hinds County, the other Mississippi county I track. Across all 79 counties and parishes I track in 24 states, 38 have a lower benchmark. Cigna and Molina also sell in Harrison now and are leaving for 2027, so some of your neighbors have to switch plans this fall. Below are the carriers, the plan counts, the full prices before subsidy, and what I think the numbers mean if you live in Gulfport, Biloxi, Long Beach, D'Iberville or anywhere else in the county.

Leaving Harrison County for 2027

Cigna and Molina sell 12 of the 41 plans in Harrison County this year. Cigna is leaving the ACA individual market in every state where it sells, on and off exchange, for 2027. Molina is leaving the Mississippi marketplace for 2027. After both exits, two carriers are left from the 2026 Harrison lineup: UnitedHealthcare and Ambetter Health. If you are enrolled with either company in Harrison, you will get a notice this fall. If you do nothing you are moved to a replacement plan picked on price and metal level, and nothing in that process checks your doctors or prescriptions.

What it costs in Harrison County before any subsidy

These are the full monthly prices, before any premium tax credit, for the cheapest Harrison plan at each metal level. I show the sticker price because it is what your subsidy is subtracted from, and most people who enroll in Harrison pay less, often a lot less.

Benchmark silver is the second lowest of the 13 silver premiums listed for Harrison. The last column is two adults aged 40 plus two children.

What these numbers mean if you live in Harrison County

Harrison County is one of 32 of the 79 counties and parishes on my list where the metal levels are priced in the order you would expect. The cheapest gold at 40 is $840, which is $183 above the benchmark silver and $185 above the cheapest silver. In Harrison the extra gold premium pays for a lower deductible rather than coming free.

In Harrison County the benchmark is $94 above the cheapest bronze at age 40, and four of the other 78 counties and parishes I track have a narrower one. That gap decides whether bronze can be free, because your subsidy is the $657 benchmark minus what the government expects you to pay from your income. A 40 year old in Harrison whose expected share is $94 a month or less would pay nothing for the cheapest bronze. At 60 the Harrison gap grows to $200 and at 21 it shrinks to $74, which is why older enrollees are the ones most likely to find a $0 plan.

Hinds County, around Jackson, is the other Mississippi county I track. Compared with Hinds County, the Harrison benchmark is $19 higher at 40 and the cheapest bronze is $44 lower. Oscar sells in Hinds County and not in Harrison.

Harrison plans by metal level, network and deductible

Bronze10$10,600 to $10,600
Expanded Bronze142$0 to $8,500
Silver132$0 to $6,500

Total416

There is not a single PPO on the 2026 marketplace in Harrison County. The 41 plans split into 31 HMO and 10 EPO. Outside emergencies, the 10 EPO and 31 HMO plans in Harrison generally pay nothing out of network, so the network list matters more than the premium. 6 plans in Harrison have a $0 medical deductible (2 silver, 2 expanded bronze and 2 gold). The 2 bronze ones among them still have out of pocket maximums of $10,600, so a $0 deductible does not mean a small bill.

Every Harrison price on this page is before subsidies, and most enrollees pay less. For a 40 year old in Harrison the premium tax credit is measured against the $657 benchmark. Estimate your own subsidy, or send me your ZIP and I will run the Harrison numbers for you.
