ACA Open Enrollment Kicks Off November 15 — Events Planned Statewide

November 14, 2014 by Aleta Payne, Former Deputy Executive Director

Open enrollment for the Affordable Care Act kicks off November 15 and continues through February 15, 2015. The Council has a long history of supporting universal health care as a justice issue  As people of faith, we believe that all our brothers and sisters deserve access to the medical care they need.

Re-enrollment, while not required for those already in the ACA, is highly encouraged to update consumer information and because new plans have entered the market in North Carolina with the potential for improved coverage and lower rates. The deadline for re-enrollment is December 15.

So far, almost 360,000 North Carolinians have enrolled in health insurance through the ACA and 91% of them qualified for financial help in paying their premiums.

If you are enrolling or re-enrolling, additional information and help are available:

  • By phone at 1-855-733-3711 (assistant in English or in Spanish)
  • On the web at the Health Insurance Marketplace, NC Get Covered, and Get Covered America.
  • In a bulletin insert from the Council of Churches and the Big Tent Coalition that is available as a free download. Some printed copies are also available for free by e-mailing info@ncchurches.org or calling 919-828-6501.
