State-Specific Resources for ACA Enrollment

Open enrollment for 2022 begins November 1, 2021 and ends January 15, 2022 for states using the federal marketplace.

The Patient Enrollment Guides for each state (see list and links below) were designed for physicians to distribute to their patients to help them enroll in coverage provided through health insurance marketplaces. The patient enrollment guides will be most useful if distributed as an electronic document with live links, such as by posting it as a link on your practice's website, rather than as a paper document.

States that use Healthcare.gov

In most states, patients can use www.healthcare.gov to shop for and purchase health coverage. This patient guide provides information on how to get coverage through the federal marketplace. Unless your state operates its own health insurance marketplace (see list below), your patients can use this Patient Information resource.

State-Based Health Insurance Marketplaces

Twenty-one states and the District of Columbia have created their own health insurance marketplaces; the following guides provide information on how patients can get coverage through their state’s health insurance marketplace.
