BISMARCK — North Dakotans are urged to take advantage of the extension of the Special Enrollment Period for health insurance coverage on the federally run health care exchange.
The SEP is open now and will remain open through Aug. 15 to all exchange-eligible consumers, whether submitting a new application or updating an existing application. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services extended access to the SEP to give consumers additional time to take advantage of new savings through the American Rescue Plan.
As a result of the American Rescue Plan, additional savings will be available for eligible consumers through HealthCare.gov starting April 1. According to CMS, these savings will decrease premiums for many, on average, by $50 per person per month and $85 per policy per month.
Visit HealthCare.gov or call the HealthCare.gov Marketplace call center at 800-318-2596 to check eligibility.
