300+ FAQs Help Consumers Understand the ACA Marketplaces as Open
Enrollment Begins
Ahead
of the annual Affordable Care Act (ACA) open enrollment period, the time
during which consumers can shop for health plans or renew existing coverage,
KFF has updated and expanded its searchable collection of more than 300 Frequently Asked Questions about open enrollment, the
health insurance marketplaces and the ACA.
Designed
to help consumers and the navigators, brokers and others who assist them, the
FAQs cover a wide range of topics including eligibility for subsidies,
requirements for health coverage and information about health plans offered
through state ACA marketplaces.
The
updated collection includes a new section addressing the sale of Marketplace plans on private websites,
sometimes described as “direct enrollment” sites or “certified enrollment partner”
sites, as well as new answers to questions about immigration status and enrollment options for those
affected by Hurricane Dorian.
More
than 180 of the FAQs in the collection are available in Spanish.
Open
enrollment for the Federal and most state marketplaces begins Friday, Nov. 1,
2019 and ends on Sunday, Dec. 15, 2019. Organizations assisting consumers are
encouraged to link to the FAQ web page. Each question and answer may be
shared individually by direct link, via Twitter and Facebook.
In
addition to the FAQs, KFF also offers short, printable fact sheets on four
common scenarios for consumers shopping for health plans:
