Hawaiʻi residents without employer health insurance should visit HealthCare.gov to compare plans. The state's open enrollment for the 2025 Health Insurance Marketplace is now underway, and you have until January 15, 2025, to choose a plan. To have coverage start on January 1, 2025, make your selection by December 15, according to a release from the Office of the Governor.
If you already have a Health Insurance Marketplace plan, you can update it during this open enrollment period. Last year, over 20,000 people in Hawaiʻi used the Marketplace, and more than 17,000 of them received subsidies to help with costs.
State Insurance Commissioner Gordon I. Ito encourages residents to comparison shop now to find the best coverage for their needs and budget. With healthcare costs rising, this is a great opportunity for those who qualify to secure affordable insurance.
Open enrollment is a crucial time for Hawaiʻi's uninsured to get coverage before the January 15 deadline. If you received subsidies last time, you may be eligible for more this time.
