| The Fourth Open Enrollment Period Has Begun! |
|
Indian Country! If you currently have coverage through the Healthcare Marketplace, it
is critical that you take the time to review and understand your current health care coverages and what it means for the coming year.
The Open Enrollment period for the 2017 calendar year on the Healthcare Marketplace starts next Tuesday,
the 1st of November and continues until January 31st 2017. Members of a Federally Recognized Tribe and Alaska Native Claims Settlement Act Shareholders
can enroll in Marketplace coverage any time of the year. For American Indians and Alaska Natives who sign up through the Marketplace, there is no limited enrollment period and AI/ANs are able to change plans as often as once a month. However, we still strongly encourage individuals to consider the open enrollment period as the ideal time for evaluating current coverage, comparing the health coverage options available, and making adjustments as needed.
