Pennie: the Pennsylvania Insurance Marketplace
Pennie® is Pennsylvania’s official health insurance marketplace and the only source for financial savings to lower the cost of coverage and care. The savings are achieved through tax credits, which help to lower premiums.
The plans sold through Pennie are for individuals and families who do not have access to health coverage from their job and otherwise are not eligible for Medical Assistance (Medicaid). Those who are self-employed or are retired and therefore do not have healthcare coverage provided by an employer, are ideal candidates as well!
