HARRISBURG—Uninsured Pennsylvanians have until January 15, 2022, to enroll in health care coverage beginning February 1.
“For uninsured Pennsylvanians, January 15 is a very important deadline,” said Gov. Tom Wolf. “January 15 is the last day to enroll in 2022 health care coverage without a qualifying event. Pennsylvanians have access to a one-stop shop for health care needs including financial assistance and help applying, shopping, and enrolling in health coverage. I urge all uninsured Pennsylvanians to visit pennie.com to access the affordable, quality health care they deserve.”
In July 2019, Wolf signed legislation establishing the state-based marketplace. Pennie replaces healthcare.gov as Pennsylvania’s official destination for shopping for quality health insurance plans and the only source of financial assistance to help with the cost of coverage and care. Currently there are nearly 360,000 Pennie customers throughout the commonwealth.
“We strongly recommend Pennsylvanians shop around for the best plan to fit their individual, family, and financial needs, even if they are currently enrolled in a health insurance plan through Pennie,” said Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner Jessica Altman. “One of our top priorities has always been to increase competition within counties, which ultimately presents more options to consumers looking for comprehensive health insurance. This year, we have more options than ever before.”
“Pennie is the bridge that connects Pennsylvanians to comprehensive, quality health coverage,” said Pennie Executive Director Zach Sherman. “It is also the only place for customers to access financial assistance in the individual market, reducing the cost of coverage and care. If you haven’t checked out the enhanced savings now available thanks to the American Rescue Plan, hurry and do so before January 15 at pennie.com or by calling 1-844-844-8040. Our multi-lingual team of certified pros will assist you every step of the way.”
