Advanced Premium Tax Credit & Cost-Sharing Reductions
If you don’t have health coverage through an employer and you’re not eligible for Medicare or Medicaid, you may qualify for a health care subsidy. Established by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), this federal assistance covers some of the premium and out-of-pocket costs of health coverage. There are two types of subsidies offered:
Advanced Premium Tax Credit (APTC): This subsidy helps lower your monthly insurance premiums. It’s based on the cost of health coverage in your state, your estimated income and your household size, which includes you, your spouse and any tax dependents.
Cost-Sharing Reductions (CSRs): This subsidy offers extra savings that reduce out-of-pocket costs by decreasing deductibles, coinsurance, copays and out-of-pocket max. If you qualify for CSRs based on your income, you must enroll in a plan that falls in the Silver ACA level to enjoy these extra health insurance savings.
The best part is you may be eligible for both types of subsidies, which can dramatically lower your annual health insurance costs.

Plus, if your income is between 100% and 400% above the Federal Poverty Level , you could qualify for a government subsidy to help pay your health insurance.
What does that mean? If you're single and make at least $15,060 per year, you could qualify! For a family of 3, you need to make at least $25,820 and a family of 4 would need to make $31,200 per year to qualify for government subsidies. Here are the HHS Poverty Guidelines.
Among those who qualify for subsidies, the average cost of health insurance in North Carolina is $68.00 per month. However, rates vary based on income, and the cost can be as low as $0 per month!
What is an Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidy?
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) subsidies are tax credits that allow you to pay less for a health insurance plan purchased on an ACA marketplace.
- How it works? When you use the subsidies, the cost of private health insurance is reduced based on the size of your family and your household income. Subsidies can be applied throughout the year to lower your monthly bill, or the lump sum can be taken as a deduction when you file income taxes.
- Who can sign up? Health insurance subsidies are available for those whose income falls in a certain range, depending on family size, and who buy insurance on HealthCare.gov or a state-run health insurance marketplace.
- Which insurance plans qualify? ACA subsidies can be used to lower the cost of insurance from any company, and the discount can be applied to four levels of coverage: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum. They can't be used for the cheapest options: Catastrophic plans, Medicaid, the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) or coverage offered by your employer.
