The health insurance marketplace is now open for individuals! This is great if you qualify for a subsidy, but, if like many, you don’t, it can be a confusing time amidst overwhelming choices of what to do. Luckily, whether you’re a group, an employee, or an individual, no matter where in the United States you live, you have a broker who can help!
New Small Groups
November 15 – December 15 is a Special Enrollment Period under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for employers in the small group market who previously did not offer group health insurance before to give their employees access to better rates than employees would get on their own and without the employer having to contribute to the employees’ premiums. We can help you choose your plan and provide ongoing support.
Existing Groups of Any Size
Now is the time to review your existing group plan and look to all carriers for options that may better fit the needs and budget of your group with a broker that will provide ongoing support every step of the way.
Individuals and Families
Employer’s Group Plan: If you have access to a group plan or COBRA, you will need to decide if you can afford it and if it meets your family’s insurance needs and budget. Employers’ open-enrollment periods do not necessarily coincide with MarketPlace open-enrollment. Contact your employer’s HR representative or broker for more details.
