If you signed up for health insurance on the Marketplace last year, your coverage may be coming up for renewal. The Artists Health Insurance Resource Center is here to help!

Open Enrollment runs from November 1 through January 15 in most states, and through January 31 in New York and New Jersey. During that time, you can make changes in your level of coverage, change your insurance company or make changes to your estimated income.

In addition, new ‘cost-sharing reductions’ in New York mean that deductibles and co-pays will go down significantly in 2025 for single households with incomes below $52,710/year ($109,200 for a family of four). AHIRC can help you navigate these changes and get affordable or free coverage. They are not brokers or agents. Their services are unbiased, free and confidential. They will:

• Walk you through the new plans, new prices and new options
• Give you tips for easier enrollment
• Help you understand how to pick a plan
• Help you find health care if you’re uninsured

Their workshop, Every Artist Insured, is held every Thursday at 12:30 pm ET. To attend, please register through their Portal at portal.entertainmentcommunity.org.

Can’t make it to the workshop? AHIRC offers counseling and enrollment assistance. To request an appointment with a Health Benefits Specialist, please complete the Health Insurance Counseling form in their Portal.

Note: After this Open Enrollment period, you will not be able to get or change coverage until the next annual Open Enrollment period at the end of 2025, unless you have a qualifying event.

Contact them now to review your coverage options. You may find something that’s better for you!
