5 Financial Assistance Most individual BlueCross plans offer identical benefits on or off the Marketplace; the difference between the two is availability of federal financial assistance. Depending on your clients income and family size, they may qualify for financial assistance to lower their premiums and/or out-of-pocket costs. These savings are only available with coverage purchased through the Marketplace. Premium Tax Credit For your clients who qualify, this new tax credit gives them a choice of how they want to use it. The tax credit is available for all Marketplace plans. Lower monthly premiums by taking the tax credit in advance. The credit will be applied throughout the year to their monthly health insurance premium and will be paid directly to BlueCross. Your clients only pay the amount remaining each month. Pay the full amount of the monthly health insurance premium; your clients can then claim the full credit on their tax return. Cost-Sharing Reduction This cost savings option lowers the deductible and out-of-pocket maximum, while increasing the amount paid by the health plan. Your clients who qualify for this savings and want to take advantage of it, will need to choose one of the Silver level plans below or on the following pages. Limited-cost share and zero-cost share versions of the Marketplace plans are available at each metallic level for American Indians and Alaskan Natives who are members of federally-recognized tribes.
