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.
