Savings By County
Nevada Health Link recently calculated the average savings Nevada residents can receive in the counties across the state. The savings are striking. Highlights of the monthly and yearly savings by county include:
- Eureka County residents average the highest savings, with $321.92 saved per month under the American Rescue Plan. That equals yearly savings of $3,863.04.
- Lander County was not far behind, with an average savings of $213.73 per month, or yearly savings of $2,564.76.
- Several Nevada counties, including Churchill, Humboldt, Storey and Lincoln counties, averaged over $100 per month in savings, or over $1,200 per year.
- Several other Nevada counties registered average savings per month of nearly $100 per month, including Nye and White Pine counties.
- Nevada’s most populous counties, Washoe and Clark County also averaged significant savings, with monthly premiums in Washoe County reduced by an average of more than $55 per month ($671 per year) and Clark County averaging savings of more than $65 per month ($790 per year).
Each Nevada resident can calculate their personalized savings at NevadaHealthLink.com, determining how much health insurance is going to cost. Even people who live outside of the counties with the highest average savings can still expect to see high savings on health insurance, depending on their individual circumstances.
Monthly premiums are based on yearly estimated household income and no Nevadan will pay more than 8.5% of their income in premiums through the American Rescue Plan on Nevada Health Link. Additionally, thousands of Nevadans who are currently enrolled in health insurance through Nevada Health Link will now qualify for subsidies (financial assistance) to dramatically lower their costs, including those making more than 400% of the federal poverty level. Nevadans who were recently unemployed (in 2021) are eligible to claim health coverage for $0 per month.
