Idaho health insurance registration ends Saturday

Time runs out Saturday for Idahoans looking to sign up for “Your Health Idaho” health insurance coverage in 2019.

Idaho’s must complete their application with the state health insurance exchange by midnight, December 15 in order to have coverage at the start of the new year. Center hours have been expanded to help customers enroll.

“We want to encourage Idahoans to enroll in health insurance and check to see if they are eligible for a tax credit to help offset costs of monthly premiums for health insurance. Nine in 10 Idahoans signing up for health insurance at Your Health Idaho qualify for a Tax Credit and most save 80 percent on monthly premiums. This savings helps many Idahoans get the coverage they need. Also, there are many Idahoans who may still be uninsured and don’t know that they may be eligible for a Tax Credit,” said Pat Kelly, executive director of Your Health Idaho.

Anyone with questions may contact an agent or broker who can provide free assistance and help people navigate the health insurance application process. You can find agents and brokers here under the “find help” tab at the top of the page on the website.

You can also reach the Your Health Idaho support center at 855-944-3246 from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. through Friday and on Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
