Open enrollment for 2024 health insurance is underway. Open enrollment is the primary time of year when people who do not have coverage through a job, the Oregon Health Plan or Medicare can enroll through the Marketplace.
Around 96% of Oregonians have health insurance and 80% of people who applied for financial help qualified this year. These numbers show how accessible health coverage can be.
Health plans sold through the Marketplace include a robust set of health benefits, even before deductibles are met. Services like preventive and wellness care including visits to naturopaths, chiropractic and acupuncture specialists are little-known services included in all Marketplace health plans. The only way to know if your doctor or prescription is covered is to look.
"OregonHealthCare.gov" offers a quick and easy-to-use window-shopping tool where users can preview what plans and savings are available to them. The tool also allows users to see which plans cover their prescription drugs and are networked with their preferred doctors or hospitals.
"OregonHealthCare.gov" also has a tool to help you figure out if coverage offered from an employers is considered unaffordable, which may open the gate for financial help through the Marketplace.
Health coverage experts are available to make the process of signing up for health coverage and choosing a plan less stressful. Their help is entirely free. Licensed insurance agents and trained community partners can be found at OregonHealthCare.gov/GetHelp."
