What Is Cost-Sharing Reduction (CSR)?
The one-minute explanation of cost-sharing reduction (csr) — no jargon.
Cost-Sharing Reduction (CSR): Extra help for lower-income households that lowers deductibles, copays, and the out-of-pocket maximum — but only on Silver plans.
In Plain English
This is the most overlooked savings lever on the Marketplace. A Silver plan with CSR can cover more like a Gold or Platinum plan for qualifying households — always price Silver first.
