Why you may not get premium help

No subsidy in Maryland

Premium help on a marketplace plan depends on your income, your household size and whether you're offered coverage through a job. If your income is above the limit, you pay the full price of a marketplace plan.

The limits and credit amounts have changed in recent years, so don't assume. We check yours against the current rules and tell you where you land.

Full-price marketplace plan

Same plans, no premium help. Often still worth comparing.

Private PPO plan

Sold outside the marketplace. Broader networks and more price choices, with health questions.

Employer or spouse plan

If one is offered, compare its real cost with the individual options.

What that looks like in Maryland

Comparing real prices in Maryland

Maryland runs its own state marketplace, Maryland Health Connection. Plans and premium help are shown there. We can walk you through the same options, compare them with private plans, and help you enroll.

When premium help isn't in the picture, the deductible, the out-of-pocket maximum and the network matter as much as the monthly price. We line plans up for you in Baltimore, Rockville and Frederick and across Maryland so you see the whole cost.

Also see our page on health insurance without a subsidy, and how premium help is estimated.

Rules change from year to year, so we confirm the current details for you.

Questions

Common questions

Why don't I qualify for premium help in Maryland?

Usually because your estimated income is above the limit, or you're offered affordable coverage through an employer. We check which applies and what you can do about it.

Is a private plan cheaper than a marketplace plan without a subsidy?

Sometimes the monthly price is lower, but the coverage differs. We compare the premium, deductible and what's excluded so you see the real difference.

Can I still buy a marketplace plan in Maryland if I don't get a subsidy?

Yes. You can buy any marketplace plan at full price during open enrollment or a special enrollment window.
