Maryland Health Connection is Maryland’s new health insurance marketplace where individuals and families can go to shop, compare and select a health plan that best meets their needs. With one application, you can find out if you are eligible for financial assistance (tax credits) to help pay for insurance premiums for private insurance, or see if you qualify for help with out-of-pocket costs. You can also find out if you or someone in your family is eligible for Medicaid or the Maryland Children’s Health Program. Even if you have never been eligible for Medicaid in the past, you may be eligible now through Medicaid expansion in Maryland that begins in January 2014.
For more information, open enrollment periods and to get help applying, visit MarylandHealthConnection.gov or call the consumer support center, with help in over 200 languages, at 1-855-642-8572 or 1-855-642-8573 for TTY. Representatives can help you over the phone or put you in touch with someone local who can provide in-person assistance.
