What this Silver plan costs if your income qualifies
Below certain incomes the marketplace improves a Silver plan's cost sharing automatically — you do not apply for it, and it happens on Silver and on no other metal level. The premium does not change; the deductible and what you pay at the doctor do.
| If your income is | Deductible | Most you could pay in a year | Primary care | Generic drugs |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Above 250%, or not applied for | $6,900 | $9,300 | $5 | $10 |
| up to 150% of the federal poverty level | $0 | $1,300 | No Charge | No Charge |
| 150% to 200% | $0 | $3,300 | $5 | No Charge |
| 200% to 250% | $6,900 | $7,850 | $5 | $10 |
CMS calls these cost-sharing reductions. The percentages are actuarial values, not discounts. HealthCare.gov works out which one you get from the income you report when you apply.
