Why enroll in or change 2021 health insurance

  . Enter your household information to see if your income is in the range to save. You’ll see exact savings and plan prices when you apply.
• With one application, you’ll see if you’re eligible for free or low-cost health coverage through Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). We’ll review your application, and if anyone in your household may be eligible, we’ll send your information to your state agency. They’ll contact you about enrolling.
