Open Enrollment is Over but New Mexicans May Still be Able to Enroll in Coverage

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M., Feb. 17, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Open Enrollment is over, but New Mexicans may still be able to get coverage through beWellnm if they were trying to enroll on February 15 and couldn't finish. For consumers who were unable to complete their application or selection, they may be able to get covered in 2015 if one of these applies:

1. The consumer tried to enroll in health coverage by February 15, but did not complete the application because of an issue with HealthCare.gov or the Marketplace Call Center that delayed the application.
2. The consumer mailed a paper application for Marketplace coverage by February 15, 2015 and received a notice telling you you're still able to complete your enrollment in Marketplace coverage.

If this applies to a consumer, they may be able to continue enrolling, but this opportunity will only be available for a short time. New Mexicans are urged to enroll in coverage as soon as possible. To complete an application, New Mexicans can log in to your Marketplace account on HealthCare.gov, or contact the Marketplace Call Center at 1-800-318-2596 to complete enrollment over the phone.
