Residents of Illinois are reminded that the Open Enrollment period for the Get Covered Illinois Health Insurance Marketplace concludes on Wednesday, January 15th. Director Morgan Winters urges those without insurance to apply by midnight for coverage starting February 1st. Financial assistance and plans for as little as $10 a month are available thanks to the American Rescue Plan Act.
“We encourage all Illinois residents who do not have health insurance coverage to visit GetCoveredIllinois.gov before Open Enrollment ends at midnight on January 15th,” said Get Covered Illinois Director Morgan Winters. “There is still time to access free enrollment assistance and to sign up for a quality, affordable plan that has the protections provided by the Affordable Care Act, such as covering pre-existing conditions and offering free preventative and wellness services.”
“A majority of consumers can find health plans on the Marketplace for $10 or less a month,” said IDOI Director Ann Gillespie. “The advanced premium tax credits available through the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) have made health coverage more affordable for thousands of Illinois residents and families.”
