OMPP Home > MEDWorks > Premiums Premiums

Many individuals who participate in M.E.D. Works program pay premiums for their healthcare coverage. Premiums are based on a sliding fee scale and are based on:

  • The gross annual income of you and your spouse (if you are married) divided by 12.
  • The premium scale starts at $48 and is graduated to $254 based on marital status and income.
  • Based on the percentage of the Federal Poverty Level of your gross income, premiums payments begin at the 150% of the Federal Poverty Level and continue up to 350% of Federal Poverty Level.
  • Individuals whose income is under 150% of the federal poverty are not charged a premium.
  • Premiums may be adjusted if monthly income changes (increases or decreases).
  • Premiums may be adjusted if individuals are paying premiums to private or employer-sponsored health insurance.

Below is a scale for M.E.D. Works Premiums for 2008. If your gross monthly income is within the amounts in the table below your premiums will be adjusted as follows:
