Health Insurance Marketplace Enrollment Fair

Contact: Annie Allen, Public Health Nurse

No doubt you’ve been starting to hear about the new Health Insurance Marketplace, a key part of the health care law that opened for business on October 1st. But you probably still have questions. Well we have answers. Certified Application Counselors and Insurance Agents will be available on Tuesday, October 29, 2013 to assist you. Come to the basement of the West Square Building in Baraboo from 11:00 am to 7:00 pm for assistance.

When you apply for coverage in the Health Insurance Marketplace, you’ll need to provide some information about you and your household; including income, any insurance you currently have, and some additional items. You will need to bring the following to the Enrollment Fair:

  • ID information for all members of your family (age, Social Security numbers, or legal permanent resident/green card or visa numbers.)
  • Income for all family members because you will have to estimate your 2014 family income to get your financial assistance (pay stub or tax forms, or other documents showing income.)
  • Information about insurance offered through your job or your spouse’s job, even if you don’t take it, including how much it costs for a single plan.
