AccessTN Premium Assistance

The General Assembly has appropriated $13 million in funds for premium assistance to make monthly premiums more affordable for low-income participants.

The AccessTN Board has determined that premium assistance:
Will be available for applicants up to 350% of federal poverty level, up to an annual household income of $75,000.
Is limited to available funding; not all of those meeting eligibility criteria will necessarily qualify.
Will range from 20% of premium to 90% of premium based on household income.
Will only be available for Plan 1000, which has the lowest deductible and highest premiums.

Rates below reflect 2008 FPL effective 3/1/08.
