What is the Massachusetts Health Connector?
The Health Connector is a state-based health insurance Marketplace that makes shopping for affordable health and dental coverage easier for Massachusetts individuals, families, and small businesses. You can find plans from the leading health and dental insurers that have been awarded the state’s Seal of Approval. This means you can be sure the plan you choose meets both state and national coverage standards.
If you need health insurance, the Health Connector is the right place for the right plan
We are dedicated to ensuring people who apply for coverage and shop for plans on the website have the best experience possible.
- Open Enrollment is the time where individuals and families can enroll for health coverage or change their current plan for any reason.
- If you need health insurance outside of Open Enrollment—called the Special Enrollment Period—you may qualify to enroll in coverage at any time of the year if you’ve experienced a qualifying life event or are eligible for certain programs like ConnectorCare or coverage through MassHealth.
- If you don’t qualify to enroll during the Special Enrollment Period, you may have to wait until Open Enrollment to enroll in coverage. The next Open Enrollment period is November 1, 2021 through January 23, 2022.
Let’s get covered together
The Health Connector partners with a set of community organizations through a grant program to serve as Navigator organizations that provide FREE community-based eligibility and enrollment assistance. Contact your nearest Navigator organization if you need help applying, understanding your plan options, renewing coverage, and more.
