Beginning in 2020, health insurance is required in Rhode Island. Residents without coverage will be charged a penalty, known as an individual mandate, at tax time.
“We have a range of options to fit everyone’s needs, and our walk-in center now has extended hours to better serve our customers during open enrollment,” said Lindsay Lang, acting director of HealthSource RI.
The health insurance exchange has added new features, including a tool that allows customers to see which plans cover their medications, and a live web-chat option through the HealthSource RI website.
An enrollment fair is scheduled for Dec. 12 at Rhode Island Shriners’ Imperial Room in Cranston, in addition to other similar events. For additional dates, visit HealthSourceRI.com/events.
Rhode Islanders can also sign up for plans at HealthSourceRI.com, by calling 1-800-840-HSRI or at the walk-in center at 401 Wampanoag Trail in East Providence.
Small businesses may purchase health coverage year-round through HealthSource RI for Employers. Visit HealthSourceRI.com/Employers for more information.
