Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Health Insurance Marketplace?

The Health Insurance Marketplace is a platform created under the Affordable Care Act where individuals and families can shop for qualified health plans. Plans are organized by coverage level (Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum), and depending on your income and household size, you may qualify for financial assistance that lowers your monthly premium or out-of-pocket costs. You can learn more at HealthCare.gov.

When can I enroll?

The annual Open Enrollment Period typically runs from November through mid-January, though exact dates can change year to year. Outside of that window, you may qualify for a Special Enrollment Period if you experience a qualifying life event such as losing other coverage, getting married, having a baby, or moving to a new state. We can help you determine whether a special enrollment period applies to you.

How do I know if I qualify for financial help?

Eligibility for premium tax credits and cost-sharing reductions depends on factors like your household income, family size, and the plans available in your area. The official determination happens during the enrollment process through the Marketplace. We can help you understand the general guidelines and walk you through the application, but final eligibility is determined by the Marketplace, not by our agency.
