3 A Word about Rates Each year, after a rate review pocess with the Minnesota Department of Commerce, health insurance companies across the state determine what plans they will offer to consumers inside and outside the Minnesota health insurance marketplace (MNsure). Plans are offered in different geographic rating areas and in multiple categories: platinum, gold, silver, bronze and catastrophic. In addition, income levels and family size can make Minnesotans eligible for a public health care program ( or MinnesotaCare), or other forms of financial help such as a tax credit (Advanced Premium Tax Credit) or a Cost Sharing Reduction. For 2015, there are a total of 84 plans offered in the individual and family market on MNsure. Because a consumer s premium cost varies by region, health insurance plan, age, tobacco use status, income and family size, this document is intended only as a snapshot of a consumer s cost. It is not intended to provide Minnesotans with their exact premium cost, tax credit or Cost Sharing Reduction. Plan data reflected in this document is the lowest possible premium in each rating area. (These premiums might not be available in every county in a rating area.) This document includes a snapshot of premiums and tax credits for individuals and employers across the state as well as for families of four. The family calculation was done based on two adults age 42 and two children under 18 years old. This differs from last year s family scenarios which were based on 40-year-old adults. Shop and Compare MNsure is the only place where consumers can shop and compare plans, as well as qualify for financial help either through federal tax credits or MinnesotaCare and to help pay the cost of their health insurance plan.

6 What You Need to Know about MNsure Plans When applying through MNsure, you can decide whether you would like to apply for financial assistance. If so, you will be determined eligible for one of three possible plan types:, MinnesotaCare or a Qualified Health Plan (QHP). This eligibility is determined based on your household size and income. What is a Qualified Health Plan (QHP)? A QHP is an insurance policy from a private company. If you qualify for a QHP, you will be able to select a company you wish to purchase from, as well as the level of coverage that fits your needs. All MNsure health insurance plans must design their cost-sharing (deductibles, copays, coinsurance) to fit specific levels of coverage. The levels of coverage are defined as follows: Bronze level: the plan must cover 60% of expected costs for the average individual Silver level: the plan must cover 70% of expected costs for the average individual Gold level: the plan must cover 80% of expected costs for the average individual Platinum level: the plan must cover 90% of expected costs for the average individual What is? is Minnesota s Medicaid health care program for children and families, pregnant women and adults without children. People 65 or older and people who have disabilities may also be eligible for. There is no monthly cost for enrollees on. Again this year, adults with incomes up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level and pregnant women and children with family incomes up to 275 percent of the federal poverty level are eligible for. Eligibility and enrollment for will be available through MNsure, excluding those over the age of 65 or those with disabilities. What is MinnesotaCare? MinnesotaCare is a subsidized health care coverage program for lower income Minnesotans without access to affordable employer-based health care coverage and who are not eligible for. Enrollees pay a monthly premium, determined by a sliding-fee scale based on family size and income. Adults with incomes between 133 percent and 200 percent of the federal poverty level are eligible for MinnesotaCare. Eligibility and enrollment for MinnesotaCare is available through MNsure.

7 How Financial is Calculated Through MNsure some individuals and families may qualify for financial help through tax credits that will immediately lower the cost to consumers for private health insurance. Financial help also may be available through no-cost or low-cost coverage under or MinnesotaCare. The amount of premium assistance available to individuals and families depends on income, age, and geographic area. Premium assistance is calculated based on where an individual s annual income falls on the federal poverty level (FPL) table as well as the cost of a benchmark premium. Below is a table that shows the income limits for various types of financial assistance available through MNsure. Below is a breakdown of what information is used to calculate the final cost to consumers. In general, the less income an individual or family makes, the less they will have to pay for health insurance and the more tax credit they will receive. Tax credits may be applied to all individual plans except catastrophic plans.

The small business premium tax credit may equal up to 50 percent of the employer paid portion of the premium.
