The second open enrollment season for enrolling in Apple Health (Medicaid) or Qualified Health Plan coverage through WA Healthplanfinder runs from November 15, 2014 through February 15, 2015.

In King County, we expect an increase in the number of insurance carriers and Qualified Health Plans from which individuals will be able to choose, and small businesses will also be able to begin purchasing coverage for their employees through WA Healthplanfinder.

In preparation for the new enrollment season, Public Health-Seattle & King County — the lead In-Person Assister Organization for King County — is working on recertifying the county’s 600+ in-person assisters, as well as planning for a series of enrollment events to be held throughout the county. Along with enrolling newly eligible individuals into coverage, in-person assisters are also working on helping residents who enrolled in coverage last year with renewing their coverage for this year.

Information on upcoming enrollment events as well as general information about open enrollment and renewals can be found at www.kingcounty.gov/coverage.
