Open Enrollment for 2017 plans through Maryland Health Connection has ended. You can still enroll now if you're eligible for Medicaid/MCHP, or if you've recently had a qualifying life event, such as getting married, having a baby, or losing other health coverage.

You can shop, compare, and enroll online at MarylandHealthConnection.gov or download the free Enroll MHC Mobile app.  Marylanders can also browse plans and get an estimate of financial help, without creating an account.

We continue to host educational outreach events at businesses, schools, and other community organizations. See our calendar for scheduled outreach events.

The Open Enrollment period for 2018 coverage will be from November 1 to December 15, 2017, for coverage starting January 1, 2018!  As always, Medicaid enrollment continues year-round. In the meantime, be sure to tell us about changes in your household or income.
