South Carolina Health Exchange Rates – Federal Subsidies
Beginning October 1, 2014 many South Carolina residents will be eligible to receive health insurance plan subsidies to reduce their South Carolina Health Exchange rates. South Carolina Health exchange plan subsidies will be available to South Carolina residents who earn between 100% – 400$ of the Federal Poverty Level. For an Individual, this means an income between $11, 490 – $45,960. In addition, South Carolina residents with incomes below 250% of the Federal Poverty Level may also qualify for cost sharing subsidies. Cost sharing subsidies will reduce out of pocket costs such as deductibles, coinsurance, and co-pays that South Carolina residents will have to pay to receive care. In order to receive cost sharing subsidies, it is necessary to enroll in the correct type of plan. If you qualify for South Carolina Health Exchange Subsidies, you may elect to receive your subsidies on a monthly or annual basis. If you choose to receive your health plan subsidy on a monthly basis, it will automatically reduce your monthly health plan premium. If you elect to receive your subsidy on an annual basis, you will receive your subsidy on your tax return. In addition, your subsidy may need to be adjusted during the year based on changes in income or family status. These changes make it very important to work with a licensed health insurance agent who can help advise you throughout the year.
