Pennie's 2024 Open Enrollment Period has started

Representatives from the Pennsylvania Insurance Department (PID), the Pennie Health Insurance Marketplace, and the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (DHS) celebrated the beginning of the open enrollment period at Maria de los Santos Health Center in Philadelphia to highlight that Pennie, Pennsylvania’s official health insurance marketplace, is now open for Pennsylvanians to enroll in high-quality health coverage for 2024. This annual Open Enrollment Period is the time when Pennsylvanians can compare quality health plans at the lowest costs through Pennie.

Pennie’s Open Enrollment Period began on Nov. 1, and the deadline to enroll in coverage that will start New Year’s Day is Dec. 15. Plans and prices change every year, so anyone who needs coverage should review their options, even if they have looked before. Anyone currently enrolled in Pennie should make sure their family size, income, and contact information are up to date. Enrolling in coverage is the best way to make sure you are protected in 2024.

“The Philadelphia region has more people without coverage than any other part of Pennsylvania. This means that more people are missing out on important medical care to prevent and manage serious illnesses, and more people are at financial risk if they get hurt,” said Pennie Executive Director Devon Trolley. “Having health coverage means protecting your health and your wallet. We encourage any Pennsylvanian without health insurance to start the new year with the peace of mind that comes with having coverage.”

Pennie is the only place where Pennsylvanians can get financial savings to reduce the cost of coverage and care. Currently, 9 in 10 enrollees qualify and save over $500 a month on average.
