Questions New Jersey shoppers ask
Where do New Jersey residents sign up for Marketplace coverage in 2027?
Through Get Covered New Jersey at nj.gov/getcoverednj (enroll.getcovered.nj.gov), New Jersey's official state-run exchange operated by the NJ Department of Banking and Insurance. Federal advance premium tax credits and New Jersey Health Plan Savings state subsidies only apply to plans purchased through Get Covered New Jersey.
What are the 2027 open enrollment dates in New Jersey?
Open Enrollment for 2027 runs from November 1, 2026 through January 31, 2027. To have coverage start on January 1, 2027, you must enroll by December 31, 2026. Enrollments completed between January 1 and January 31, 2027 take effect February 1, 2027.
Can a licensed nonresident agent help me with a Get Covered New Jersey plan?
Yes. An agent must hold an active New Jersey producer license and complete annual Get Covered New Jersey certification training. I hold New Jersey nonresident producer license #3000946026 (NPN 18213932) and completed 2027 Get Covered New Jersey certification training. Reviews happen by phone and screen share, and you never share your account password.
What does a plan review cost?
There is no separate agent fee for the plan-review assistance described on this site. If you enroll in a plan, the insurer may pay me a commission. I compare plans from the insurers I'm appointed with in New Jersey, which may not be every insurer on Get Covered New Jersey.
Does New Jersey offer state subsidies or expanded Medicaid?
Yes. Depending on household size and projected 2027 income, qualifying residents may receive federal advance premium tax credits plus New Jersey Health Plan Savings state subsidies through Get Covered New Jersey, or qualify for NJ FamilyCare (New Jersey's Medicaid and CHIP program). Get Covered New Jersey determines eligibility when you apply.
Are short-term medical plans available in New Jersey?
No. Under New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance rules (Bulletin 18-12), short-term limited-duration health insurance plans cannot be sold to individuals in New Jersey, and New Jersey maintains a state individual health coverage requirement.
