How does Premium Assistance Sponsorship work?
A Washington state resident (not eligible for Apple
Health/Medicaid or Medicare) looks for individual
health insurance on the Health Benefit Exchange.
The individual finds the cost is a significant barrier
to enrolling. He/she can’t afford the premiums.
The individual is referred to the Premium Assistance
program by one of the funding partners.
The Premium Assistance Program determines that the
person is eligible and meets all program criteria.
Project Access Northwest staff members work with
the individual to enroll. The Premium Assistance
Program pays all premiums (one policy year) for
the Silver Level Plan the individual chooses.
