'Are You Covered, Ohio?’ Week

OHIOANS HAVE UNTIL FEBRUARY 15TH TO SIGN UP/RE-ENROLL FOR HEALTH INSURANCE OFFERED IN THE MARKETPLACE

Over 202,000 Ohioans have enrolled in private plans through the Marketplace


The week of February 2-6 marks the inaugural, ‘Are You Covered, Ohio?’ week that calls attention to the free assistance offered to Ohioans exploring their health insurance options.

As trusted resources—of care and information—in some of our most underserved neighborhoods, our statewide network of Community Health Centers have assisted thousands in evaluating their options, connecting them to coverage and taking time to offer education on how to use and understand their new benefits.

The good news is that most Ohioans will receive financial assistance to pay for health insurance premiums. Certified Application Counselors at Ohio’s Community Health Centers are trained, unbiased resources that will answer questions and walk consumers through the enrollment process face to face, regardless of whether they qualify for Medicaid or private coverage.
