Open Enrollment for Health Insurance Opening Soon

Individual/family health insurance open enrollment runs from November 1, 2024 – December 16, 2024 for a January 1, 2025 effective date. This year, Georgians will use  the new state-based marketplace, Georgia Access, to obtain health insurance coverage  for individuals and families.  

Georgia Access is the state’s program for Georgians to shop for and enroll in health  insurance. With Georgia Access, Georgians will find many options to enroll in high quality, comprehensive, and affordable health insurance. According to September 2023  data from the U.S. Census Bureau, there are 1.2 million Georgians without health  insurance – we can help lower that number! 

In February 2023, Governor Brian P. Kemp designated OCI Commissioner John F. King  to lead Georgia’s transition from a State-based Exchange on the Federal Platform  (SBE-FP) to a State-based Exchange (SBE). During Open Enrollment 2025, Georgia  Access will transition to an SBE, which means Georgians can visit GeorgiaAccess.gov  to shop for, compare, and directly enroll in health insurance coverage. 

Individuals and families can still utilize their local broker to assist with health insurance  enrollment. “It is always a good idea to review your current health insurance elections to  ensure proper coverage for you and your family,” noted Marcy Heath, CEO of Insurance  Solutions of the South. “Sometimes your health and/or prescription medications may  change and we are always happy to assist clients with selecting a plan that is affordable  and meets their needs,” said Marcy Heath. To hear more about the 2025 health insurance updates, tune in to the Community Voice  radio program on Newstalk 1330 on Monday, November 4, 2024 where Mrs. Heath will  discuss the latest information on health insurance in Georgia. Insurance Solutions of the  South has over 27 years of experience in the health insurance space and looks forward  to serving clients during the 2025 open enrollment season.
