The Oregon Health Insurance Marketplace (OHIM) has extended the deadline to get health insurance coverage starting Jan. 1, 2025, to Wednesday, Dec. 18, 2024, giving Oregonians additional time to avoid a gap in health coverage.
The OHIM said the extension is designed to ensure that individuals and families who have yet to sign up for health insurance can take advantage of this opportunity to review their options and select a plan that fits their needs and budget. The original deadline, Dec. 15, has been extended to provide a few extra days for those who need more time to enroll for coverage starting Jan.
1. “We understand that life gets busy, and making important decisions about health coverage can sometimes take longer than expected,” OHIM Director Chiqui Flowers said. “With this extension, Oregonians have additional time to find a plan that works for them and their families for the first month of 2025.
” The Marketplace offers a variety of plans that include essential health benefits such as doctor visits, prescription drugs, mental health care, and emergency services. "Financial assistance is available for many Oregonians, with most individuals qualifying for savings on monthly premiums. In fact, over 80% of Marketplace enrollees last year received financial assistance to make their coverage more affordable," the release states.
