ACA/Health Insurance Marketplace Information

The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act was enacted to help the millions of uninsured and underinsured Americans obtain health coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace.

The Marketplace provides health insurance options as well as coverage enrollment for individuals, families, and small businesses.

PLEASE NOTE: Marketplace Open Enrollment for 2018 has ended.

Individuals may also qualify for Special Enrollment Periods outside of Open Enrollment if they experience certain events. (See Special Enrollment Period and Qualifying Life Event)

You can also apply for Medicaid or CHIP at any time of the year.

To apply online for health coverage, or to learn more about the Health Insurance Marketplace, visit the official CMS website at: https://www.healthcare.gov/.
