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 (Dec. 26th)...

...total enrollment in Maine is up 2.9% overall, with 16% fewer active renewals but 12% more new enrollments  and 11% more auto-renewals.

In fact, Maine enrollment thru 12/26/24 is up slightly over last year's final OEP tally of 62,586 QHP selections in Maine.
