United Way of Dane County's HealthConnect
HealthConnect is available if you need assistance paying your premiums. United Way of Dane County can help lower-income individuals and families who make too much to be eligible for BadgerCare purchase insurance in the Marketplace via the HealthConnect Premium Assistance Program. Made possible because of donations from UW Health and Quartz, HealthConnect pays the balance of eligible participants’ monthly health insurance premium not covered by the Premium Tax Credit available through the Marketplace.
To be eligible, you must live in Dane County, be a US Citizen or legal resident, enroll in a Marketplace health plan and fall within the below income ranges:
- Family of 1: $12,881-$19,320
- Family of 2: $17,421-$26,130
- Family of 3: $21,961-$32,940
- Family of 4: $26,501-$39,750
More than 4? For each person, add $6,810.
