It’s Open Enrollment: Time for Massachusetts residents to get affordable health coverage for 2025

November 1, 2024—Open Enrollment at the Massachusetts Health Connector starts today, giving Massachusetts residents the opportunity to enroll in affordable health coverage for 2025, including through the expanded ConnectorCare program, which delivers lower premiums and lower out-of-pocket costs to more members than ever before. Anyone who needs health insurance—including people new to Massachusetts, participants in the Commonwealth’s growing gig and creative economies, and people who haven’t had health coverage in many months or years—can get covered through the Commonwealth’s state-based Marketplace, the Health Connector. Open Enrollment begins on Nov. 1 and runs through Jan. 23. The deadline for coverage that starts Jan. 1 is Dec. 23. “Everyone in Massachusetts should have health insurance that is not only affordable, but provides easy and low-cost access to health care, like annual checkups, specialized care, prescription medication, and emergency services when needed. During Open Enrollment, anyone who needs health insurance can find a plan that delivers those services and more, and can likely find help paying for it,” said Audrey Morse Gasteier, the Executive Director of the Massachusetts Health Connector. “If you or someone you know needs health insurance, now is the time to come to the Health Connector, see what options are available, and enroll in coverage. Enrollees frequently report feeling relief after learning how affordable the coverage available to them is and being able to get the care they need.” The Health Connector’s individual and family enrollment is at an all-time high, with more than 337,000 people enrolled in Health [...]

ConnectorCare pilot expansion creates lower costs, better access to health care for 51,000 residents

Health Connector member survey finds 88 percent have used new coverage,one in five have used preventative services previously deferred August 28, 2024 – A new report published today by the Health Connector shows that the ConnectorCare pilot expansion enabled access to lower-cost health insurance to over 51,000 Massachusetts residents and many new participants benefit from the program’s financial protections. The pilot expansion, part of the Fiscal Year 2024 state budget, is available to residents for Calendar Years 2024 and 2025. The expansion lifted income eligibility limits to the program from 300 percent to 500 percent of the federal poverty level – from $43,740 to $72,900 for an individual, and from $90,000 to $150,000 for a family of four. The report details the outcomes of the pilot expansion, including an increase in member cost savings – with some new ConnectorCare members saving $150 or more per month on their premiums – and the quick usage of the coverage by members in the pilot population, with 88 percent of survey respondents saying they or a family member had used their new coverage. One in five had used preventative services that had been deferred before entering ConnectorCare. “I was proud to sign the ConnectorCare pilot expansion into law, and I’m thrilled to see that it has expanded access to lower-cost health insurance for tens of thousands of Massachusetts residents,” said Governor Maura Healey. “We’re grateful to the Health Connector team for their hard work to make this pilot a success and to the Legislature for their partnership to make [...]
