6 Helpful tips for ACA enrollment

St. John’s Health offers the following tips for those interested in enrolling in Affordable Care Act health insurance beginning January 1, 2022 or February 1, 2022:

1. The enrollment period for signing up for 2022 insurance through the Affordable Care Act is from November 1 to January 15, 2022.
2. Enroll by December 15, 2021 for coverage beginning January 1, 2022 or by January 15, 2022 for coverage beginning February 1, 2022.
3. Reviewing your application, rather than simply allowing the Marketplace to re-enroll you, may save you money. Updating your information annually ensures that you are receiving appropriate financial assistance from the Marketplace.
4. There are three ways to apply for health insurance coverage through the marketplace: online, by phone, or in person. Details are available at healthcare.gov.
5. If you have questions, Certified Application Counselors (CACs) from St. John's Health are offering free appointments to Teton County, WY residents. CACs can assist with the application process and help determine a person's monthly premium through the healthcare.gov Marketplace. CACs provide one-hour appointments via Zoom through January 15. A limited number of appointments are available, so please call 307.739.7435 for availability.
6. Appointments with bilingual CACs are available at One22 Resource Center – call 307.739.4500 Monday through Friday between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. to schedule your appointment in either English or Spanish. One22 is committed to ensuring access to a range of benefits that meet basic needs, including affordable health insurance.
