Enhanced Premium Tax Credit (EPTC)
Enhanced Premium Tax Credits ensure that millions of Americans can continue to access health insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace.
Six national organizations, including the AHA, today urged congressional leaders to permanently expand access to the Affordable Care Act’s advance premium tax credits.
We call on Congress to act now to make the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) expanded access to the ACA’s advanced premium tax credits (APTCs) permanent, ensuring millions of low- and middle-income families continue to have access to affordable coverage in 2023 and beyond.
The average monthly premium for consumers receiving an advance premium tax credit was $133, down from $164 in 2021.
Today through Aug. 15, Americans can enroll in health coverage or revise their existing coverage through the federally facilitated marketplace to take advantage of expanded tax credits under the American Rescue Plan Act.
Health Insurance Marketplace premiums for 2015 averaged 7% lower in states that had expanded Medicaid eligibility to low-income adults under the Affordable Care Act than in states that had not, according to an analysis released today by the Department of Health and Human Services.
