The open enrollment period for insurance coverage through the Affordable Care Act is only 45 days this year—15 days shorter than in previous years. Enrollment opens November 1 and closes on December 15. DHHS enrollment sites are expecting crowds and long waits for assistance. Nonprofits can help clients access health insurance by:

  • Making sure clients are aware of the shortened enrollment period;
  • Reassuring clients that insurance is still available and Maryland Health Connection is the only place to get help paying for a health plan;
  • Becoming familiar with the options and requirements, plans and prices changes every year and it is very important to update the MHC application before December 15;
  • Helping clients gather the necessary documentation to apply; and
  • Informing clients that they can apply online, through the “Enroll MHC” mobile app or by calling the MHC Call Center at 1-855-642-8572.

For more information, visit the Maryland Health Connection website or download the “Enroll MHC” app.
