The Obama administration on June 25, 2013 kicked off the Health Insurance Marketplace education effort with a new, consumer-focused HealthCare.gov website and the 24-hour-a-day consumer call center to help Americans prepare for open enrollment and ultimately sign up for private health insurance.
HealthCare.gov is the destination for the Health Insurance Marketplace. Americans may now access new educational information and learn what they can do to get ready for open enrollment. Consumers can create accounts, complete an online application, and shop for qualified health plans. For Spanish speaking consumers, CuidadoDeSalud.gov will also be updated to match HealthCare.gov’s new consumer focus.
The Marketplace call center will provide educational information and can assist consumers with application completion and plan selection. In addition to English and Spanish, the call center provides assistance in more than 150 languages through an interpretation and translation service. Customer service representatives are available for assistance via a toll-free number at 1-800-318-2596 and hearing impaired callers using TTY/TDD technology can dial 1-855-889-4325 for assistance.
