How to save on Maryland health insurance
The biggest lever on your Maryland premium is the ACA premium tax credit. It caps what you pay for a benchmark silver plan at a percentage of your income — the lower your income, the larger the credit — and the government pays the rest directly to your insurer.
Because Maryland expanded Medicaid, the lowest earners may qualify for free or low-cost Medicaid, while those above that level shop subsidized Marketplace plans through Maryland Health Connection.
One important change for 2026: the enhanced pandemic-era subsidies have expired unless renewed, so the “400% cliff” may return for higher earners. That makes comparing plans with a licensed Maryland agent more valuable than ever. Prefer to read up first? Browse our insurance guides.
