ObamaCare’s Open Enrollment and Individual Mandate

Insurance must be obtained during open enrollment.  Insurance purchased before the 15th of each month starts on the first of the following month after you have paid your premium.

If you miss the open enrollment deadline you will owe a fee for each month you go without health insurance and, often, won’t be able to enroll in a plan until next year’s open enrollment period.

Our Guide to the Health Insurance Marketplace

Our Free ObamaCare Guide includes a section on the Health Insurance Marketplace. The Health Insurance Marketplace first opened October 1st, 2013 and is open every year during the open enrollment period. Read our guide today to see how you can get cheap health insurance for you, your family and your business, and find out what will happen if you don’t.

ObamaCare Guide: What ObamaCare Does in a Few Words

Understanding every aspect of ObamaCare can be daunting, but getting the gist isn’t hard. Here is all you need to know about ObamaCare in a few words:

• If you have health coverage you like, you can keep it. Children under 26 can stay on a parent’s health insurance plan.

• If you don’t have coverage, you can use the new Health Insurance Marketplace to buy a private insurance plan.

• Pre-existing conditions are covered. So are many preventive services and the 10 Essential Health Benefits.

• Depending on your family size and income, you may get lower costs on monthly premiums and out-of-pocket costs.

• You may also qualify for free or low-cost coverage from Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). Many states are expanding Medicaid to cover more people in 2014.

• If you don’t obtain and maintain coverage throughout each year you’ll have to pay a per-month fee on your year-end taxes.

• If you have coverage and want to explore Marketplace plans, you can. But if you have an offer of insurance from an employer, you may not be able to get lower costs on Marketplace insurance depending on your income. It depends on whether the insurance you’re offered is considered affordable and meets minimum standards.

• Medicare isn’t part of the Marketplace. If you have Medicare, keep it.

• Private insurance purchased both inside or outside of the marketplace must be obtained during open enrollment.
