Need health insurance? Enrollment open now for Marketplace health plans. Here's how to sign up.

The Marketplace health plans — commonly known as Obamacare — are now open for enrollment for 2023.

Obamacare was established by the Affordable Care Act during President Barak Obama’s administration to offer more-affordable health insurance to all Americans.

Open enrollment runs from Nov. 1 to Jan. 15, but you need to enroll by Dec. 15 to have coverage starting Jan. 1.

You can get help picking a plan

If you need help selecting a plan for 2023, the Marketplace has several ways we can help you enroll in 2023 coverage. By visiting Find Local Help, you can find assisters in your area that you can contact on your own or agents and brokers that will contact you directly.

Assisters are trained and certified individuals who can help you enroll in a Marketplace plan and are required to provide fair, impartial, and accurate information. Contact an assister in your area by visiting Find Local Help. 

Agents or brokers are also trained and registered by the Marketplace, and licensed in their respective state. They’re usually paid by the insurance companies whose plans they sell; however, they’re required in many states to act in the consumer’s best interest.

To have an agent or broker contact you for help enrolling, select “Get Contacted” below. You’ll be redirected to Help On Demand, where you can give your contact information and an agent or broker will reach out to you.

Note: Once you visit Help On Demand, you’re subject to its privacy and security policies. It’s run under contract with CMS (Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services) – the federal agency that administers HealthCare.gov.  Simply providing your contact information isn’t considered enrolling. To get coverage, you must still complete your application and pick a plan.
