COST-SHARING REDUCTION

Save on Out-of-Pocket Costs

Cost-sharing reduction, or CSR, is a discount that helps you pay less on out-of-pocket costs like copays, deductibles and coinsurance. Learn if you qualify for a CSR when you get your premium tax credit estimate.

Please note, you’ll need to enroll in a Silver level plan to apply CSR savings.

ICHRA (CHOICE)

Get Reimbursed Through Your Job

CHOICE, formerly known as ICHRA (Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement), is a reimbursement offered through your job to help cover the cost of your insurance. When you're shopping for BCBSTX insurance, you'll have the chance to enter an ICHRA balance if you have one. Even though this offering's name is changing, the benefits and structure remain the same.

If your job doesn’t have health insurance as a benefit, ask HR if they offer ICHRA.
