The HealthCare.gov SHOP Portal Closes Today

Reminder: The Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP) enrollment and payment portal on HealthCare.gov will close permanently today, February 10, 2019.  

This change follows from the new opportunity for small businesses to enroll directly in SHOP coverage through a qualified agent, broker, or issuer. Regulations finalized last year moved the Federal Exchange platform to an issuer-based enrollment approach to allow businesses to more easily enroll in SHOP coverage.
  • For SHOP coverage that started in 2017, you will not be able to access the enrollment and payment portal by logging in at HealthCare.gov after February 10. For help with 2017 coverage after February 10, contact the issuer, or your agent or broker.
  • If you have SHOP coverage for 2018 and beyond, you’ll continue working directly with your insurance company or SHOP-registered agent or broker to apply, enroll, make any coverage updates or pay your premiums.
For more information on SHOP, visit HealthCare.gov for SHOP tools, resources and calculators.
