Hendrick offers free education and assistance for Marketplace insurance enrollment on Nov. 22 and Dec. 6

Hendrick Health is offering two opportunities for the community to receive free education and enrollment assistance for Marketplace insurance plans. The Enrollment Educational Fairs are scheduled for Friday, Nov. 22 and Friday Dec. 6 in Hendrick Medical Center’s Shelton Building lobby, located at 2000 Pine St., from 4-7 p.m. 

Certified application counselors from Hendrick will answer questions and assist individuals who wish to apply for Marketplace insurance plans. Participants should bring one form of identification, know their social security numbers and have a current email address.

The Marketplace, often referred to as Obama Care, is a service that helps people shop for and enroll in affordable health insurance. The federal government operates the Marketplace, and provides health plan shopping and enrollment services through websites, call centers and in-person assistance.

Anyone choosing to sign up for a plan during the fair should allow 30-45 minutes to get through the entire process.

Open enrollment for 2020 Marketplace insurance plans is November 1 - December 15. For more information on enrollment events at Hendrick, visit ehendrick.org/marketplace or call 325-670-4161.
