How Much Could You Save?

Your Health Idaho is the only place where Idahoans can receive the Advance Premium Tax Credit (APTC). APTC acts like an instant discount, lowering the amount you pay out-of-pocket each month for health insurance. For many Idahoans, that means they pay $0 per month for coverage. What could that look like for your household?

If you don't qualify for an SEP, you can still enroll in coverage during the annual open enrollment period. Open Enrollment typically takes place in November & December with coverage beginning January 1.
