FAQs
When can I enroll?
This year’s Open Enrollment Period runs for six weeks, from November 1 through December 15. It is the only time during the year when you can enroll in coverage, unless you experience a major life event (such as having a baby, moving, or losing or changing jobs) that qualifies you for special enrollment OR if you’re eligible for the state’s NJ FamilyCare program, in which you can enroll year-round.
How much will insurance cost and can I really afford it?
This year, health plan rates are down in New Jersey. And you might receive financial help to lower the cost of your plan. Last year, about 8 out of 10 New Jersey residents purchasing on the Marketplace received a tax credit to pay for their plan. Plans and prices change every year, so it’s important to check out your options to ensure you find the plan that fits your needs and your budget.
Is financial assistance available to help lower the cost of my plan?
Last year, nearly 200,000 New Jerseyans got a tax credit to help pay for their plan. In New Jersey, a family of four earning up to about $100,400 a year and an individual earning up to about $48,560 a year can qualify. In fact, last year the average individual saved $442 a month with a tax credit. Visit GetCovered.NJ.gov to learn more.
Is there still a requirement to have health insurance in New Jersey?
Yes. New Jersey is committed to making sure health insurance is available and affordable to all residents. To help with this, the state has kept in place a requirement for New Jersey residents to have health coverage or make a shared responsibility payment. Making sure all residents have health coverage helps ensure there are more health plans available for consumers to pick from, that premiums remain affordable, and that comprehensive coverage is available for all who need it – including people with pre- existing conditions. Any funds from this penalty collected by the state are dedicated to reducing the cost of health insurance for individuals. Through New Jersey’s efforts to stabilize our insurance market, we’ve seen a nearly 10 percent drop in health insurance premiums this year alone.
I want to protect my family — I’m ready to enroll in coverage but still have questions. Where can I find help?
Free help is available to find a health insurance plan that’s right for you. You can find a trained assister in your community at GetCovered.NJ.gov or call 877-9-NAVIG8 (877-962-8448) to talk about your health insurance options and get help enrolling.

“The relationship between literacy and health is complex,” said Christopher C. Stout, Executive Director for Project Literacy of Greater Bergen County. “Literacy impacts health knowledge, health status and access to health services. Health Literacy in the U.S. reflects what health systems and professionals do to make health information and services understandable and actionable, added Stout. “Deborah Visconi, as the leader of the largest hospital in New Jersey and a health care professional who understands the essential link between literacy and positive health outcomes, was a natural choice as one of our gala’s honorees. We look forward to working with her and New Bridge to continue raising awareness and helping our community.”
“To be recognized by Project Literacy of Greater Bergen County is truly a crowning moment for me,” said Visconi. “I am thankful for the opportunity to work with an organization whose mission is to provide, support and promote the expansion of adult literacy in Bergen County. We know there is a critical need to address literacy in our County and our Country and we also know that low literacy rates impact healthcare costs by $106 billion and upwards to $236 billion each year,” she added. “It is imperative that healthcare leaders do all they can to support literacy efforts so that those who seek our care can truly best benefit from it. If a consumer cannot read a consent form, or a medicine bottle, or follow a written after care plan, they have less of a chance of a positive health outcome.”
“Deborah Visconi leads New Jersey’s largest hospital with compassion, as it serves the most vulnerable people in our community. She sees firsthand the power of literacy and understands that reading is essential to positive outcomes in all aspects of life, including health and wellness,” said James J. Tedesco, lll, Bergen County Executive. “I am proud to join Project Literacy in recognizing Deborah Visconi for her leadership and commitment to empowering patients, caregivers, and staff through programming that supports literacy and education.”
