Administration releases updates to ACA marketplace enrollment ahead of Nov. 1 launch

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services Oct. 25 launched a preview of health coverage options available through the Open Enrollment Period for the HealthCare.gov marketplaces, set to open on Nov. 1. The Administration also announced Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals recipients will be eligible to enroll in a marketplace plan and may be eligible for other benefits to lower health insurance out of pocket costs. As part of this year’s open enrollment, CMS updated the HealthCare.gov webpage and made it mobile-friendly to ease the enrollment process. The ACA marketplace open enrollment runs from Nov. 1 to Jan. 15. AHA offers additional resources and more information on open enrollment at aha.org/getcovered.
