Health Coverage in The Marketplace by David Mark Decherd

Qualified Health Plans ( QHP) can be found in the marketplace. QHP are Health Insurance  Policies that have meet the CMS standard for 10 different categories of coverage.  Accordingly,  the Marketplace  determine consumers' eligibility for participation in:

-QHP enrollment through  the marketplaces.

-Advanced  payments  of the premium  tax credit.

-Cost-Sharing reductions.

Also, depending on the state in which the consumer resides, the Marketplace may either determine  consumers ' eligibility for Medicaid or CHIP, or make an initial  assessment of eligibility  for those programs and have the State make the final determination.

Tax credits and Cost-Sharing are tools that allow consumers' to reduce their cost of healthcare coverage.
