Report from the Maryland
Health Benefit Exchange about Maryland Health Connection, the state-based
health insurance marketplace
BALTIMORE (March 21, 2014) -- As we enter the final days of open
enrollment, we have seen a spike in interest and activity on Maryland Health
Connection.
Counting both individuals who have gained Medicaid coverage and
those who have selected a private health plan through Maryland Health
Connection, 248,230 Marylanders have enrolled in coverage since January 1. This
includes 203,394 Marylanders in Medicaid and 44,836 through private health
plans. This puts Maryland more than 95 percent of the way towards our goal of
260,000 gaining coverage during the first open enrollment period.
We continue to do everything we can to get as many Marylanders
as possible enrolled by March 31. Marylanders who have not yet enrolled are
encouraged to visit www.marylandhealthconnection.gov
to complete an application and enroll in coverage.------If you are not eligible for a subsidy through the exchanges and need coverage directly and quickly you can click this link for a medical and/or dental plan through Carefirst Blue Cross Blue Shield.
Thanks, Ben
