#GetCovered 2022: If You Need Health Insurance in Michigan, Help is Here

  • #GetCovered 2022: If You Need Health Insurance in Michigan, Help is Here

    Michiganders have more plans to choose from, more low- or no-cost coverage options, and more time to enroll during the 2022 Health Insurance Marketplace Open Enrollment period, which runs November 1 through January 15, 2022.
     

    This site contains everything you need to know about health insurance, how to get covered, and how to use your coverage to keep yourself and your family healthy. 
     

    There are many ways to get covered, and there is no wrong way to begin. When you sign up through HealthCare.gov, it will direct you to other programs if you qualify, including Medicaid, Healthy Michigan Plan, or the Children's Health Insurance Program.
     

    Free enrollment help is available and increased subsides established by the American Rescue Plan will give more Michiganders the opportunity to qualify for low- or no-cost coverage for 2022. In 2021, Michigan consumers saw an average premium reduction of 45% through these subsidies, or more than $71 per month in savings. Nationally, 4 out of 5 shoppers nationwide can find a plan for less than $10 a month!
