The subsidy per employee depends on the health insurance coverage chosen and the average annual wage for the business.

The premium subsidy is up to 50% of the premium for each participating employee.

Each year, the Commission will publish a premium schedule on the Commission’s website showing the maximum subsidy amount for different types of coverage and different average annual wage amounts.

Any planned employer contribution to an employee’s Health Savings Account is treated as an additional employer premium contribution in calculating the premium subsidy.

The table below illustrates the subsidy at selected average income levels.
Effective October 1, 2009
