What is Tax Credit?
Hey y’all. For the last couple of years, I have had my health insurance through my workplace. T
his year, I moved to PA, went back to school and my income dropped significantly. My only income is my scholarship and it’s about $18k per year. I applied to Pennie and it gave me some options but I don’t understand some of them and Pennie’s call center couldn’t help me understand them, so maybe you guys can.
Some notes about me:
+My school provides Doctor’s examinations for $25 only. So in case of small injuries and sicknesses, I can just go see a Doc at school.
+Also, I wasn’t born and raised in the US, so in case of extreme cases like Cancer and Non-Emergency Surgeries, I can visit my family and take care of myself over there.
The only reason I need health insurance is in case I break my arm or something similar happens.
Pennie gave me some options look like this:
INDEPENCE
Keystone HMO Silver Proa…
SILVER HMO CSR
$10.86 /month
after $302.86 tax credit
PRIMARY CARE VISIT$5
GENERIC DRUGS$4
DEDUCTIBLE$0/$0
OOP MAX$2150
There are a lot more looking like this.
What does that tax credit thing mean?
What would you do if you were in my position?
Thanks
