United Ways of Alabama and 211 Connects Alabama are partnering with AIDS Alabama to provide assistance to uninsured individuals to help navigate the healthcare marketplace.

The health insurance Marketplace or Exchange is an online shopping center. Both federal Marketplace and state-based Marketplaces exist.

​Marketplace health plans are all required to offer the same essential health benefits, including doctor visits, preventive care, hospitalization, prescriptions, pregnancy and mental health, to name a few.

In the Marketplace, you can:

• Find out if you qualify for a subsidy, tax credits or special programs.

• Compare plans based on cost, benefits, deductibles, etc.

• Apply for and enroll in a health plan.

Visit Enroll Alabama to learn more.  You can also dial 211 and speak with a healthcare navigator to help you apply and enroll over the phone.  You can also text ENROLLALA to 898-211 for more information.

Resources like HealthCare.com can help you shop for Marketplace plans with ease and support, providing you with quotes and recommendations.
