Cost Sharing Reduction
If your family size and income ranks you at under 250% of the Federal Poverty Level, this cost reduction will reduce your total out of pocket responsibilities in overall medical costs. You’ll get additional financial assistance to cover more of your portion of the medical expenses for your “Silver” plan (70/30.) So in addition to getting the “Advanced Premium Tax Subsidy,” you’ll also have the “Cost Sharing Reductions” to reduce deductibles, co-pays, and co-insurance. Your overall medical costs will be a smaller percentage of your income to pay for medical bills and expenses.
The Cost Sharing Reduction is ONLY available on SILVER Plans.
