EXTRA WAYS TO SAVE MONEY
**Over 70% of people who enroll in a CareSource Health Insurance Marketplace plan also qualify for a government-funded subsidy that substantially lowers the overall cost of the plan. When you enroll, you’ll see if you qualify. Eligibility for these funds is determined by the Health Insurance Marketplace, and not by CareSource. There are two ways in which the funds are distributed:
| Advance Premium Tax Credit (APTC) |
|---|
A tax credit based on income level that lowers monthly premium payments. This can be used no matter which plan you enroll in. |
| Cost-Sharing Reduction (CSR) |
|---|
CSRs are discounts or “extra savings” that lower the amount you have to pay for deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. CSRs only apply to Silver plans†, so if you qualify for CSR, you must enroll in a Silver plan. While APTCs will be reducing in plan year ’26, they will still be available for members. There will be no changes to CSRs. |
LOW PREMIUM BRONZE OPTION
While a lean plan design, this plan option still provides better than going uninsured.
OFF EXCHANGE
CareSource now offers Off Exchange health insurance plans outside the usual government exchanges. It’s important because it gives you more choices and often better prices. This means you can pick the plan that fits your needs and budget best, helping you get the coverage you want without extra hassle. Benefits:
- Wider Plan Selection – Access a broader variety of insurance plans beyond what’s available on government exchanges, giving you more options to find the perfect fit.
- Competitive Pricing – Benefit from potentially lower premiums and flexible pricing options that can better suit your budget.
- No Income Restrictions – Unlike exchange plans that often require income verification for subsidies, Off Exchange plans have fewer eligibility limits.
- Flexible Enrollment Periods – Take advantage of more flexible enrollment windows, making it easier to get coverage when you need it.
- Direct Provider Relationship – Work directly with insurers or brokers, simplifying communication and support for a smoother purchasing experience.
OFF EXCHANGE ONLY
For those without access to subsidy, be it APTC or CSR, going off exchange can provide savings over on exchange while simplifying the process.
SUPPORT FOR ICHRA AND QHSERA
Looking for flexible health coverage that works with your employer’s benefits? Off Exchange Marketplace plans are a great choice if your company offers an ICHRA (Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement) or QHSERA (Qualified Health Plan Status for Employee Retiree Arrangements). These plans let you pick the insurance that fits your needs, while your employer helps cover the cost through reimbursement. That means you get personalized, affordable coverage with the freedom to choose what works best for you—all while staying compliant with important healthcare rules. Enjoy more control, flexibility, and support with Off Exchange Marketplace plans!
