4 DAYS UNTIL OPEN ENROLLMENT
HIGHLIGHT
Open Enrollment Starts November 1!
Open enrollment for Marketplace coverage starts November 1. Health Insurance Marketplace OE8 will run through December 15 for consumers to sign up for 2021 health coverage. Over the past several years, we’ve had huge success as a group in getting thousands of Nebraskans signed up for coverage. Now, more than ever, it’s important that people have health insurance. Let’s continue those successful efforts and get the word out about open enrollment!
Don’t forget about Enroll Nebraska’s Open Enrollment Outreach Toolkit and Campaign Video (“I Love Rock Enroll – COVID Edition” to help spread the word to your networks.
