Our health insurance plans for individuals and families are powered by CHPW, a long-trusted name in affordable, quality health care coverage. They are offered through Washington Healthplanfinder, the state’s online marketplace where people can shop for and enroll in a health plan.
Our plans, called CHNW Cascade Select, connect you with our network of local health care providers and with community-based services to keep you healthy between checkups. As a local health insurance provider, we believe the best care is whole-person care that starts with you, in your community.
You may be eligible for lower premiums and other health care costs through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).
ARPA includes measures that raise income eligibility for reduced-cost premiums on health insurance plans purchased through Washington Healthplanfinder, the online marketplace run by the Washington Health Benefit Exchange.
- Don’t have health insurance and hesitant to enroll in a health plan because of premium costs? This is a good time to check again. You could qualify for more help paying your monthly premium than you did before.
- If you already have health coverage through Washington Healthplanfinder, ARPA may help you to afford another plan (with the same carrier) that has more benefits and even $0 premiums.
- It’s not just lower premiums. You could save money on health care down the line through the cost-sharing subsidies offered on Silver plans. These subsidies lower the amount you pay when you visit your doctor.
To take advantage of possible lower premiums, make sure your income information is up to date in Washington Healthplanfinder.
