17 Feb Healthcare Marketplace Reopened for 2021 Insurance
Note: The deadlines on this page are updated as states and the federal government extend enrollment periods.
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the marketplace for health insurance has been reopened as of February 15. Residents of states which do not operate their own state health exchanges, or which operate exchanges in partnership with the federal government, can purchase insurance on the federal exchange on healthcare.gov through August 15. States which operate their own exchanges have also reopened their marketplaces. We’ve noted their dates below.
Guild members can access good advice on their options and recommendations for health insurance through LIG, at no cost. LIG can provide advice to those who must apply through the federal marketplace, as well as those who can apply through state exchanges. LIG will also work with Guild members to see if they qualify for any savings, such as through subsidies.
