Save money on your ACA plan

Understand Your Plan Options

Do I qualify for savings?

Eighty percent of Highmark ACA plan members qualify for extra savings. So, if you’re worried about paying for your health plan, we have two ways to help:

  • Advanced Premium Tax Credits (APTC) – These can lower your monthly premium and are based on your household income and household size.
  • Cost-Sharing Reduction (CSR) – This program can help lower the out-of-pocket costs that come when you receive care, like deductibles and copays. Depending on your household size and income, you may be eligible for both an APTC and a CSR.

What are metal levels?

ACA plans are organized by metal levels.When signing up for a plan, you can choose how you want to split up your costs with your insurer. The quality of care is the same for every level.

Gold – Higher monthly premiums, lower out-of-pocket costs.

Silver – Moderate premiums and out-of-pocket costs. You must select this metal to utilize CSR.

Bronze – Lower monthly premiums, higher out-of-pocket costs.

Catastrophic – Only for people under 30 or for people undergoing certain hardships. Protects people from the large health bills that come with catastrophes, like being diagnosed with a complex illness.

Looking forward to 2021

Shop for plans

Where to Shop for Plans

There are two ways to buy an ACA plan: through the Exchange or outside the Exchange. Which one you choose depends on your personal needs and financial situation, but our licensed representatives can help you make the decision.

Buy Highmark through the Marketplace

These are Highmark plans that are bought through the federal or state government Marketplace, also called the Exchange. These plans offer extra savings to those who are eligible that can lower monthly premiums and out of-pocket costs.

Buy directly from Highmark

These plans are bought directly through Highmark and do not offer financial help. Additional plans may be available off the Exchange.
