RE: White House announcement of Special Enrollment Period
January 28, 2021
Today, the Biden-Harris Administration announced a Special Enrollment Period, allowing Americans to enroll and purchase on-Exchange health insurance plans from their respective on-Exchange marketplaces. On behalf of the Silver State Health Insurance Exchange and Nevadans statewide, we are pleased to see positive change taking place at the federal level and to witness the fast-moving actions to protect the Affordable Care Act (ACA), upon which so many Americans rely for quality, affordable and comprehensive health insurance coverage.
This news comes on the heels of our announcement that nearly 82,000 Nevadans enrolled on Nevada Health Link for coverage in 2021. That’s nearly a six percent increase from last year’s enrollment total.
Today’s news from the White House speaks volumes about how the new Administration will continue to support the ACA and help to bolster the health insurance marketplace, protecting hundreds of millions of Americans.
We look forward to collaborating with our carriers, other state agencies, and our statewide network of brokers and navigators who are standing by to help Nevadans get connected with health insurance. We offer assistance in multiple languages, including Spanish, Tagalog and Mandarin.
And as a reminder, the Exchange is the only place can qualify for subsidies to offset the cost of insurance premiums. Especially during the COVID-19 pandemic, no Nevadan should be without health insurance. We are here to help.
