HSRI: Open enrollment ends Sunday

PROVIDENCE – HealthSource RI, the state’s health benefits exchange, said residents have until Jan. 31 to choose a plan for individual and family health coverage.
Those who choose a plan by Jan. 31 will have coverage in effect for March 1. They have until Feb. 23 to make their first month’s premium payment.
Open enrollment, which began Nov. 1, concludes Jan. 31, HSRI said.
The Contact Center will be open this weekend on Saturday from 8:30 a.m. to noon, and has added Sunday hours from noon to 6 p.m. to accommodate the Sunday deadline.

Last year, nine out of 10 HealthSource RI customers were eligible for financial assistance to help pay for coverage, HSRI said. Information can be found on healthsourceri.com or by calling 1-855-840-4774.
Small employers may enroll at their renewal date, regardless of where that date falls during the calendar year. The same is true for Medicaid-eligible individuals, HSRI said.
