HEALTH INSURANCE DEADLINES - December 31, 2007
Health Insurance Deadlines Are Soon—
Make Sure That You Have Health Insurance Now
Dear Friends,
Now is the time to begin securing health insurance before the end of the year.
All Massachusetts citizens must have proof of health insurance by December 31, 2007, as required by the new health insurance mandate.
If you do not have health insurance, you must begin the process now by contacting the Health Care for All helpline (1-800-272-4232) to determine your eligibility for free or subsidized health insurance through the state and to receive advice on your best options.
The telephone service is free and is available between 9 am and 5 pm, Monday through Friday. You can also visit their website at www.hcfama.org and click on the Helpline button. You will need to know your adjusted gross income from your income tax return to determine eligibility.
Health insurance plans usually begin enrollment at the first of the month. So, you should plan to select your best insurance option by November 15 to meet the state deadline.
