If you’re interested in
buying health insurance
through the state exchange, and want your plan to kick
in Jan. 1, you need to sign up by the end of business
Tuesday.
Customers renewing their Qualified Health Plans through the exchange also need to sign up by 5 p.m. Dec. 23 for Jan. 1 coverage.
Those who aren’t worried about getting their coverage on New Years Day can still enroll through Feb. 15. Apple Health (Medicaid) enrollment continues year-round.
The enrollment period began Nov. 15. About 10,000 Washington residents signed up for private plans through Healthplanfinder by Dec. 11 and another 46,000 renewed coverage, according to a news release. An additional 480,000 had accessed Medicaid coverage.
This is the second year for the state’s health exchange.
