Representative Abigail Spanberger is encouraging residents and small businesses in Central Virginia to review their coverage and sign up for 2021 health insurance during the open enrollment period.

Virginians can visit healthcare.gov to review their options, make changes to their current plan, or sign up for a new plan on the health care marketplace until Dec. 15. Coverage begins on Jan. 1. Central Virginians can only enroll or change their plan if they qualify for the Special Enrollment Period after the Dec. 15 deadline. Click here to learn more.

“Across Central Virginia, working families, seniors, and small business owners are struggling with the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and the ongoing economic crisis. Now more than ever, they need stability in the health care marketplace,” Spanberger said in the release. “As the number of Seventh District residents with pre-existing conditions continues to grow, we need to make sure everyone is aware of their coverage options. With only a few more weeks in the open enrollment period, I hope everyone will take time to review their plan and look at all their options for 2021, so they can make the best decision for themselves and their family.”
