Don’t Miss Out! January 15 is Your Last Chance to Enroll in Health Insurance

Starting January 16, 2025, a commercial promoting affordable health insurance will no longer air. This change comes as the deadline for signing up through Health Link is tomorrow.

Officials are excited about the results this year. “We’ve already seen over 106,000 people enroll, setting a new record,” said Katie Charleson from Nevada Health Link. “With a few days left, we expect that number to increase as many people wait until the last moment to sign up.”

Many people, especially those who lost Medicaid coverage since COVID, may have turned to Health Link for their insurance needs. This has likely contributed to the surge in enrollment.

Remember, the final deadline to sign up is midnight on Wednesday, January 15, 2025. This year could be especially important since it might be the last time subsidies from the American Restoration Act are available.

A family of four in Washoe County making around $80,000 annually could pay as little as $0 for a bronze plan. Those looking for middle-tier options, like silver plans, might only pay about $240 a month thanks to various subsidies.

If you want to keep your current plan, there’s nothing you need to do. Your coverage will automatically renew for 2025.

For first-time enrollers or those who haven’t signed up in years, checking out the website for plan options is a good step. Navigating health insurance can be tricky, so don’t hesitate to seek assistance from a broker or a navigator who can help find the best price and coverage for you.

Asking yourself a few questions can help determine which plan to choose:

• How often do I visit a doctor or lab?
• Do I need regular checkups or tests?
• Do I have any chronic conditions like diabetes?

Your answers will guide you toward the right bronze, silver, or gold plan.

Beware of out-of-state insurance companies claiming to be part of Nevada Health Link. They might not offer essential health benefits. Nevada Health Link officials won’t call you or ask for personal details to provide quotes. You need to make the first move in reaching out.
