On Feb. 15, 2015, the second year of Open Enrollment came to a close with 218,617 Indiana consumers selecting a plan or being automatically reenrolled in quality, affordable coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace. Nationwide, about 11.4 million Americans selected Marketplace plans or were automatically re-enrolled, including about 8.6 million people in the states that use the HealthCare.gov platform (such as Indiana), and about 2.8 million in the State Based Marketplaces based on those states’ preliminary data.
Open Enrollment for the Health Insurance Marketplaces began on Nov. 15, 2014 and ended on Feb. 15, 2015. There are some consumers who were stuck “in line” leading up to the deadline – they will have this week, until Feb. 22, to complete their enrollment. Consumers can visit HealthCare.gov or call the Marketplace Call Center at 1-800-318-2596 (TTY 1-855-889-4325) to find out if they qualify for a special enrollment period.
