Time is running out – the health insurance marketplaces is only open for just a few more days. This Friday, December 15 is the last day to enroll in or change plans on HealthCare.gov for coverage to start January 1, 2018. Financial help is available for most people enrolling for health insurance on the marketplace.

St. Vincent is committed to serving our community and being sure all people continue to have convenient access to healthcare. Healthcare coverage is an important piece of access to care, and those who do not have health insurance in 2018 may have to pay a fine.

  • How do you apply?
  • Where can you go to apply for a plan?
  • Where can you find 2018 plans and prices?
  • What information should you have ready before starting a Marketplace application?
