Open Enrollment is the only time of year residents can enroll in a plan, unless they have a major life event, such as getting married, moving, having a baby, losing employer-sponsored coverage, or if they meet certain income standards that qualify them for a Special Enrollment Period. Additionally, losing NJ FamilyCare coverage also qualifies residents for a Special Enrollment Period, and those who no longer qualify because their income is too high may be able to get help paying for premiums.
Established by Governor Phil Murphy and operated by the Department of Banking and Insurance, Get Covered 樱花视频 provides New Jerseyans with access to quality, affordable health insurance options for themselves and their families. All plans offered through cover preventive services, emergency services, prescription drugs, prenatal and pediatric care, and more, and no one can be denied coverage due to a pre-existing condition.
In 樱花视频, there remains a requirement to have health coverage. Residents who do not qualify for an exemption from the Shared Responsibility Payment will pay a penalty at tax time.
The deadline for Open Enrollment for 2024 coverage is January 31, 2024.
