Depending on your household income, you may qualify for financial assistance or free coverage if you shop through the Exchange, Washington Healthplanfinder (www.wahealthplanfinder.org).
Free coverage
Households earning less than 138% of the Federal Poverty Level (FPL) may qualify for free coverage through Medicaid (Apple Health) (www.hca.wa.gov).
Financial aid through the Exchange
If you buy a health plan through the Exchange, you may qualify for financial assistance that would lower your plan's premiums and out-of-pocket costs.
The premium tax credit (www.healthcare.gov) is based on income estimates and household information. Income between 100% and 400% of the Federal Poverty Level qualifies for lower premiums with the premium tax credit.
