Time is running out!

With the open enrollment rapidly approaching, Connect for Health Colorado is spreading the word about getting covered before March 31. After this date, most Coloradans will not be eligible to enroll in health insurance coverage until October, and those plans will not kick in until January 1, 2015.

So what does this mean for you?

If you’ve already enrolled, great! You may revel and relax in the fact that you’re covered. If you haven’t enrolled but are planning on it, head to your nearest computer and log on to www.connectforhealthco.com or call the customer service line at 855-PLANS-4-YOU (855-752-6749). There are 19 days left in the enrollment period, so get on it!

Barring a life-changing event like loss of coverage or change in citizenship, most Coloradans will not be able to enroll in health coverage after March 31 and will likely incur a fine by the feds.

Avoid all that now and visit Connect for Health Colorado online or in person, and check out plans to fit your needs today.

More than half of those enrolled in private insurance are eligible for tax credits, saving them an average of $248 a month on their premiums (source: 2013 C4HC Annual Summary). While ConnectforHealthCO.com saw some hiccups during the first week, the issues were quickly resolved and the site now has 1,024,254 unique visitors. View more metrics here.

Just two weeks ago, we took off on a 10-day, statewide RV tour to educate Coloradans about health insurance options and available financial assistance through Connect for Health Colorado.

The goal of the tour? Inform the masses! With deadlines approaching, it’s important for every Coloradan to know their options. Folks have until December 23 to sign up and be covered by Jan. 1, 2014. Those who miss this deadline have until March 31, 2014 to enroll for health coverage—but the earlier one enrolls, the better!
