In response to the COVID-19 public health emergency,
Healthcare.gov will be available for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP)
from February 15 to May 15.
During this period, consumers in the 36 states served
by Marketplaces that use the HealthCare.gov platform can apply for
insurance or update an existing application, At least 13 States plus the
District of Columbia, which operate their own Marketplace platforms, have
decided to offer a similar opportunity.
Consumers who are uninsured can take this opportunity to
look for coverage and find out if they qualify for financial assistance
to help pay for health insurance by visiting HealthCare.gov or CuidadoDeSalud.gov
or by calling the Marketplace Call Center at 1-800-318-2596, which
provides assistance in over 150 languages. Consumers also can find a
local assister or agent/broker in their area by visiting: https://localhelp.healthcare.gov.
CMS will be hosting a webinar
on the Healthcare.gov SEP for community-based organizations
tomorrow, February 19, at 3:00 pm EST.
