Are you ready for the January 15th deadline?
According to the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, more than 6 million people have enrolled in either private insurance (through the Marketplace) or for the Medicaid program.
The Jan. 15th deadline ensures that you can have coverage as early as February 1st and there are 3 easy ways to enroll.
You can either enroll online, over the phone at 1-800-318-2596, or you can meet with an adviser at these local health insurance locations. You can also receive assistance in comparing plans and finding the right plan to fit your family’s needs.
If you’re going to be enrolling online, check out this link with helpful hints on how to improve your online experience.
If you’re already enrolled, make sure to check with your insurance company that you have enrolled and that you paid your first premium. If you haven’t received your member card, contact your health insurance company to make sure everything is copacetic with your account. If you don’t have the card yet and you need to go to a healthcare provider or the pharmacy, you’re still covered. Just bring a printed out copy of your enrollment confirmation page.
If you’re not going to make the Jan. 15th deadline, don’t worry, the open enrollment period will continue until March 31st.
