PeaceHealth reminds Lane County of special opportunity to get or change health insurance
Eligible individuals can enroll in or change
2021 Affordable Care Act (ACA) plans through Aug. 15
SPRINGFIELD, Ore. — In an effort to expand access to affordable healthcare, the federal government has established a special enrollment period for coverage through the Affordable Care Act (ACA), now through Aug. 15, 2021.
Those seeking health insurance coverage, or are looking to change their plans, may be able to achieve significant savings and lower costs on coverage as a result of new funding from the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021.
“Healthcare coverage through the Affordable Care Act allows many people in our community to access critical healthcare services,” says Todd Salnas, chief executive, PeaceHealth Oregon. “Now is the time to act if you think you may be eligible or are already enrolled and interested in changing plans.”
