Maine is one of a few states in the U.S. that has its own official health insurance marketplace under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. This marketplace is called CoverME. We are not affiliated with CoverME and we are not a health insurance company. We can, however, connect you with multiple Maine health insurance providers and brokers, giving you a streamlined way to compare your state’s options all in one place. These options include both marketplace plans, also known as "Obamacare," and non-government plans. By filling out a few pieces of information about yourself, we can match you to the best plan that suits your personal needs.
In order to get an Affordable Care Act (ACA) Plan, you must sign up during Open Enrollment. If you missed Open Enrollment, you can still get an ACA plan during Special Enrollment. You qualify for Special Enrollment if you, or someone in your household, recently experienced certain life events -- such as losing health coverage, changing jobs, getting married/divorced, having a child, or moving, to name a few.
Even if you are not able to enroll in an ACA Plan now, you may be able to enroll in other types of plans, such as short-term plans, medical indemnity plans and/or healthcare sharing ministry plans, which can generally be purchased at any time.
The Affordable Care Act (ACA), also known as "Obamacare", has helped millions of people get health care coverage. Before the ACA, health insurance was unaffordable and unavailable for many. Now, if you meet certain qualifications, the government will help pay for your monthly premiums and out-of-pocket cost. And for those who have preexisting medical conditions, you can no longer be denied coverage under the Affordable Care Act.
We are not the government. We are not a health insurance company. Instead, MaineHealthPlans.com helps you connect with multiple health insurance providers and brokers who can help you compare the different plans you are eligible for and find the one that is right for your needs.
