For owner-operators and 1099 drivers based around Wilmington, Dover, Newark and Georgetown, running I-95, US-13, US-113 and Delaware Route 1.
Delaware runs a state-based exchange on the HealthCare.gov platform, so drivers follow the federal calendar, and Medicaid is expanded, so there is no gap. With three counties and a short drive to Maryland, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, Delaware drivers are out of state on almost every run, and many plans here already lean on providers in the Philadelphia and Baltimore areas.

Delaware's freight sits on I-95 between Philadelphia and Baltimore, with the Port of Wilmington handling produce and other cargo on the Delaware River. Downstate, US-13 and US-113 carry poultry and farm freight across Delmarva into Maryland and Virginia.
For a Delaware driver, out of state is the normal case, not the exception. A local plan that treats Maryland or Pennsylvania as out of network is a poor fit even for a regional run, and it is no fit at all for OTR.
Before you buy, search the plan's directory for the hospitals your family would use at home, such as ChristianaCare, Bayhealth and Beebe Healthcare, and for urgent care along I-95, US-13, US-113 and Delaware Route 1.
Delaware's small population means few carriers have participated in its individual market, so the Marketplace list understates the total market more than it would in a larger state. Networks often extend into the Philadelphia and Baltimore metros, which gives Delawareans access to large academic medical centers. Confirming that out-of-state access is actually in network is one of the most valuable checks on any Delaware plan.
Delaware expanded Medicaid, covering adults up to about 138% of the poverty line. Above that, regular tax credit rules apply up to the 400% line, and healthy drivers above it often compare a private nationwide PPO plan.
Delaware runs a state-based exchange on the HealthCare.gov platform, so enrollment happens on HealthCare.gov with the federal calendar.
