New, lower costs on Marketplace coverage

Still need health insurance?

You can get health coverage for the rest of the year if you qualify for:

A Special Enrollment Period due to a recent life event, like losing other coverage, moving, getting married, or having a baby.
Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), or a new Special Enrollment Period based on estimated household income.

You may be able to get more savings and lower costs on Marketplace health insurance coverage due to the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. Under the new law:

More people than ever before qualify for help paying for health coverage, even those who weren’t eligible in the past.
Most people currently enrolled in a Marketplace plan may qualify for more tax credits.
Health insurance premiums after these new savings will go down.

How to find out if you qualify for Marketplace savings

When you apply for Marketplace coverage, you’ll find out if you qualify for a premium tax credit that lowers your monthly premium.

The amount of your premium tax credit depends on the estimated household income for 2022 that you put on your Marketplace application.

Find out if your estimated 2022 income is in the range to qualify for a premium tax credit.

If your state doesn’t use HealthCare.gov

Visit your State Marketplace website or contact their Call Center for more information about when these additional savings will be available through your Marketplace.
