Maine: coverME reports 58.6K QHP enrollees thru 11/14, enrollment up slightly y/y so far
Plan Selection Snapshot
The Maine Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) Office of the Health Insurance Marketplace (OHIM) will release biweekly updates on plan selections through CoverME.gov, Maine’s Health Insurance Marketplace.
Plan selections provide a snapshot of activity by new and returning consumers who have selected a plan for 2025. “Plan selections” become “enrollments” once consumers have paid their first monthly premium to begin insurance. These numbers are subject to change as consumers may modify or cancel plans after their initial selection.
The deadline to select a plan for coverage beginning January 1, 2025 is December 15, 2024. Consumers who select a plan between December 16, 2024 and January 15, 2025 will have coverage beginning February 1, 2025.
Hmmm...let's see...compared to last year through the same date (Nov. 14th)...
...total enrollment in Maine is actually up slightly overall, with 25% fewer active renewals but 12% more new enrollments and 3.7% more auto-renewals.
Of course the auto-renewal figure will drop a bit as some of those are converted into active renewals (it was reported as 54,322 by CMS just a few days ago), but for the moment that's where things stand.
