Nevadans have until January 15 at 11:59 p.m. to enroll in health and dental plans for 2023

WHAT: Less than one week remains to enroll in qualified, affordable health and dental coverage through NevadaHealthLink.com, the online health insurance marketplace operated by the state agency, the Silver State Health Insurance Exchange (Exchange). Open Enrollment began on November 1, 2022 and ends on January 15, 2023 at 11:59 p.m.

90% of Nevadans who shop for plans through Nevada Health Link qualify for premium tax credits to help lower the costs of monthly premiums. Nearly half of all Nevadans with plans through Nevada Health Link have plans under $100 per month.

Since November 1, 43,546 Nevadans have actively enrolled or re-enrolled in one of the Exchange’s 163 Qualified Health Plans (QHP) for Plan Year 2023.

“Time is of the essence for Nevadans to enroll in affordable and comprehensive health coverage for 2023,” said Katie Charleson, Communications Officer with the Silver State Health Insurance Exchange. “The Exchange encourages those who are still without health insurance or those who might be on the fence about enrolling to visit NevadaHealthLink.com to get connected with a certified enrollment assister or broker to discuss various options and to help you find a plan that fits in your budget and health needs. The enrollment assistance is completely free, available in multiple languages and available in person and over the phone.”

WHEN: Nevadans have until 11:59 p.m. on January 15 to enroll in plans, with coverage beginning February 1.

Open enrollment is one of the only times Nevadans can enroll in plans through the Exchange, unless experiencing certain Qualifying Life Events (QLEs), such as losing health insurance, change of employment or income, getting married, having a child, or moving.

WHO: Health plans offered through NevadaHealthLink.com are ideal for Nevadans who do not have employer-sponsored health insurance, including the self-employed and gig workers; those who are not receiving or do not qualify for Medicare or Medicaid; new Nevada residents; or anyone seeking comprehensive, affordable health care coverage.

WHERE: Plans are available through NevadaHealthLink.com
