Marketplace Insurance Application Deadline Is Tonight
No one knows how many Michigan residents lost insurance coverage this year. When jobs disappeared due to the COVID-19 virus outbreak, so did medical insurance coverage for nearly everyone involved. And for those who have not found an adequate replacement for their employer involved coverage, time is nearly out to do something with the government-sponsored marketplace. The deadline is midnight tonight (Tuesday, Dec ember 15, 2020).
Bridge Michigan reports as of the latest release of statistics from the government’s U.S. Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services, nearly 106,000 Michigan residents have enrolled in 2021 health care plans through the federal marketplace. That number is expected to be much higher after the midnight deadline for enrollment. The Michigan Association of Health Plans reports that is a nearly 40 percent increase over last year’s enrollment at the same time.
