Gov. Beshear: Sign-Ups Open on State-Based Marketplace for Quality Health Plans

Plans are open to all Kentuckians

Gov. Beshear is reminding Kentuckians that the health coverage annual enrollment period opens today, Nov. 1, providing citizens of the commonwealth the opportunity to sign up for commercial plan coverage that begins in 2022.

In addition, Kentuckians have a new place for enrolling: kynect.ky.gov. To get help signing up, Kentuckians can also call help lines for kynect benefits (1-855-306-8959), kynect health coverage (1-855-459-6328) or TTY (1-855-326-4654).

“Starting today, Kentucky families can go online and shop and save on quality health care coverage,” Gov. Beshear said. “Health care is a basic human right, and the healthier we all are, the better spot we are in to build a better Kentucky and further boost our booming economy.”

Enrollments received through Dec. 15, 2021, will qualify for coverage that begins Jan. 1, 2022. For Kentuckians who enroll between Dec. 16, 2021, and Jan. 15, 2022, coverage will start Feb. 1, 2022. Enrollment in a commercial plan will remain open on kynect.ky.gov through Jan. 15, 2022. To learn more, see the full release.

“The important thing to do is to look and plan. Talk to the kynector, talk to the agent, and have them help you shop around,” said Cabinet for Health and Family Services Secretary Eric Friedlander. “You are likely to find a plan, hopefully one that is less than what you are currently paying. This is good for Kentucky.”
