Get Ready to Enroll in Marketplace Coverage
November 15, 2014
By Sylvia Mathews Burwell, HHS Secretary
The Health Insurance Marketplace is Open!
If you need health insurance, you can sign up for an affordable health plan that meets your needs and fits your budget at HealthCare.gov. You may even qualify for financial assistance. Open Enrollment in the Marketplace runs through Feb. 15, 2015. Your coverage can start as soon as Jan. 1, 2015 if you sign up by Dec. 15, 2014.
If you signed up for Marketplace insurance during last year's Open Enrollment - we encourage you to:
- Come back and review your current coverage and application. For most users, about 90 percent of this year's application will be prepopulated with information from last year.
- Make sure your information is up-to-date and anything you need to update is changed.
- Compare your current plan with other available plans. You may find new coverage that better fits your needs and budget.
- Choose the best plan for you.
- Enroll in coverage.
If you're renewing your coverage, you can enroll any time between now and Dec.15.
Over the past few months, we’ve been working hard to lay the groundwork for a successful Open Enrollment. We’re committed to giving you the very best consumer experience.
Join the millions of Americans who now have access to quality, affordable coverage: sign up today!
