North Carolina ACA Health Insurance
What is the affordable care act?
In North Carolina, the annual open enrollment period for Affordable Care Act health insurance, also known as Obamacare, typically takes place from November 1 to December 15. During this time, residents of the state can apply for and enroll in ACA health insurance plans, which are required to cover a range of essential benefits such as emergency services, maternity care, and prescription drugs.
It’s important to note that if you miss the open enrollment period, you may still be able to enroll under the Affordable Care Act coverage during a special enrollment period, a provision of the affordable care act which is triggered by certain qualifying events such as getting married, having a child, or losing your existing health coverage. The federal government may also open a special enrollment period at certain times.
ACA health insurance plans may also be eligible for premium tax subsidies, which can help reduce the cost of your monthly premiums. In some cases, Americans may even qualify for Affordable Care Act plans with $0 premiums for bronze and silver plans.
