Tribal Family Members who are not Tribal Citizens enroll by January 15 for coverage starting on February 1

Each January, many people resolve to prioritize wellness. Enrollment in health insurance can help make that resolution a reality and protect families from high medical costs. The current Marketplace Open Enrollment period runs through Saturday, January 15. While Tribal Citizens can enroll year-round, please encourage Tribal Family Members who are not Tribal Citizens to visit HealthCare.gov and enroll in a Marketplace plan by that date.

Marketplace plans cover Essential Health Benefits, such as vaccinations and cancer screenings. Special protections are available to American Indians and Alaska Natives (AI/ANs) who enroll. For more information on why AI/ANs should sign up for a health care coverage plan, download and share:

• CMS’s booklet, 10 Important Facts About Health Service and Health Insurance
• The Tribal Version of From Coverage to Care
