Upcoming health insurance enrollment events
Open enrollment for 2015 health coverage through Delaware’s online insurance marketplace begins Nov. 15.
You will be able to apply for a qualified Obamacare health plan through Feb. 15, but if you’d like coverage by Jan. 1, you must apply by Dec. 15. If you applied on the marketplace last year, check for notices in the mail about your insurance coverage. If your plan is no longer offered or has been changed, you may have to reapply online.
Delaware’s health department has coordinated various events throughout the state with certified marketplace guides to walk you through process.
Assistance is free, and on a first-come, first-served basis.
To enroll in a plan, bring the following: birthdates and Social Security numbers of those applying for coverage; pay stubs, W-2 forms, or other information about your family’s income; policy/member numbers for any current health coverage; and information about any job-related health coverage available to you or your family.
