Nevada: Time is Running Out to #GetCovered by January 1 on NVHealthLink.com!

via NV Health Link:

With Open Enrollment going on now through Nevada’s official health insurance marketplace known as NevadaHealthLink.com, there are less than two weeks left for Nevadans to get coverage starting the first of the new year. Nevadans must enroll in a plan by 11:59 p.m. on December 31, 2024, for their health insurance coverage to be effective starting January 1, 2025.

Those who don’t enroll by December 31 will still have a chance to enroll in coverage through January 15, 2025, however, those who enroll between January 1 and January 15, 2025, will have coverage beginning February 1, 2025.

Open Enrollment began on November 1 and since then, over 30,000 Nevadans have actively enrolled in a plan, with 15,236 being new to enroll on Nevada Health Link. The Open Enrollment Period is the only time of year Nevadans can freely enroll in a health insurance plan through NevadaHealthLink.com without experiencing a qualifying life event, such as getting married, having a baby or moving.

Cost savings continue to be available, with nearly 9 in 10 enrollees utilizing financial assistance (tax credits) to lower the cost of their monthly premiums. Nearly half pay a net premium of $100 or less per month for their coverage. Nevada Health Link is the ONLY place Nevadans can receive federal tax credits (subsidies) to help offset the cost of monthly premiums.

Nevadans can visit NevadaHealthLink.com to explore up to 141 Qualified Health Plans through eight brand-name, private insurance carriers (the number of plans available varies by county) offered on the marketplace.

Nevadans can also seek free enrollment assistance from licensed enrollment professionals using the “Find Local Assistance” tool on the website or by calling 1-800-547-2927. Local brokers and navigators are available in every county to help answer questions, find coverage, and enroll in a plan. Assistance is available over the phone or in person, in multiple languages.

Nevadans have until December 31, 2024 at 11:59 p.m. to enroll in a plan in order to get coverage beginning January 1, 2025.

For Nevadans who enroll between January 1 and January 15, 2025, coverage will begin February 1, 2025.

Nevada Health Link is ideal for individuals without employer-sponsored health insurance, such as freelancers or gig economy workers; individuals whose employer-sponsored health insurance costs more than 9.02% of their household income; individuals who do not qualify for Medicare (65+) or Medicaid (income-based); and new residents of Nevada.
