Affordable Care Act Marketplace Enrollment Underway 
Munson Healthcare staff can help area residents understand their options 

Certified application counselors are available at several Munson Healthcare facilities to help individuals enroll in the Affordable Care Act’s health insurance Marketplace for 2024-2025. 

The enrollment window began Nov. 1 and closes Jan. 15. Open enrollment remains important for anyone not covered by health insurance through their employer or other means. About 418,100 Michigan residents are enrolled in the Marketplace. 

“At Munson Healthcare we believe it’s important for northern Michigan residents to understand the options and resources that are available to them through health insurance,” said Ed Ness, president and CEO of Munson Healthcare. 

Munson Healthcare offers certified application counselors as a resource to help the region’s residents enroll in the Marketplace for 2024/2025. Counselors are available in Cadillac, Grayling, Manistee, and Traverse City. 

Munson Healthcare’s Financial Counseling and Assistance Manager Julie Moore said there are certified application counselors available to review the various plans with individuals to assist in selecting a plan to best fit their needs. 

“Whether people are seeking health care coverage for the first time or renewing their coverage, we have counselors qualified to assist,” Moore said. “We can also answer questions related to navigating the healthcare.gov web site as well.”  

People who do not meet the Jan 15 deadline will not be able to enroll for 2025, unless their circumstances change, and they meet specified criteria for enrollment outside of the enrollment window.
