Governor Janet Mills has a friendly reminder for all Maine residents: If you don’t have health insurance yet, now is your golden opportunity to sign up through CoverME.gov, Maine’s own health insurance marketplace. The key date to remember is December 15, 2023 – that’s the deadline to enroll for coverage starting on the bright new morning of January 1, 2024. Imagine kicking off the new year with the peace of mind that health coverage brings!
But here’s some great news: This year, you might find it easier than ever to get financial help for your insurance, thanks to some recent, positive changes at the federal level. Governor Mills emphasizes how crucial it is for the health, well-being, and security of Maine families to have health insurance, especially in these challenging times during the pandemic.
Missed the December 15 deadline? Don’t worry! You still have a chance until January 15, 2024. If you enroll by this date, your coverage will begin on February 1, 2024. However, after January 15, you’ll need to wait for special circumstances to enroll during the year.
So, let’s not miss this chance, folks! Signing up for health insurance is more than just a box to tick; it’s a step towards ensuring that you and your family stay healthy and secure. Let’s all join hands in making Maine a healthier, happier state!
