Idaho ranks 2nd in nation for per-capita health exchange enrollments

Idaho’s state health insurance exchange, YourHealthIdaho.org, reports today that 32,899 Idahoans have now selected a health insurance plan through the exchange, up 65 percent from a month ago. That ranks Idaho second in the nation for per-capita successful enrollments, behind only Vermont.

“We are excited enrollment numbers have reached nearly 33,000 but we still have a lot of work to do by March 31,” said Jody Olson, communications director. To get coverage effective by March 1, 2014, the deadline to enroll is February 15, 2014. Olson also warned that from noon Mountain time on Feb. 15 to 3 a.m. on Feb. 18, the federal site that handles verification of Social Security numbers and determinations of tax credit eligibility will be down for maintenance work, halting those functions during that time; that means anyone who wants coverage by March 1 needs to apply before noon on the 15th.
