“Time is of the essence for Nevadans to enroll in affordable and comprehensive health coverage for 2023,” said Katie Charleson, Communications Officer with the Silver State Health Insurance Exchange. “The Exchange encourages those who are still without health insurance or those who might be on the fence about enrolling to visit NevadaHealthLink.com to get connected with a certified enrollment assister or broker to discuss various options and to help you find a plan that fits in your budget and health needs. The enrollment assistance is completely free, available in multiple languages and available in person and over the phone.”

ABOUT: NevadaHealthLink.com is the online insurance marketplace operated by the Silver State Health Insurance Exchange (Exchange), which was established per Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) in 2011 by the State of Nevada and began operations in 2013 on the belief that all Nevadans deserve access to health insurance. In 2019, the Exchange transitioned away from the federal marketplace, HealthCare.gov and became a fully operational State Based Exchange (SBE). Now, this is the fourth year Nevada Health Link is operating as a state-based exchange. The Open Enrollment Period on NevadaHealthLink.com connects eligible Nevada residents to budget-appropriate health and dental coverage and is the only place where qualifying consumers can receive federal tax credits to help cover premium costs. The Open Enrollment Period is available November 1 through January 15.
