Stride Health partnership with Healthcare.gov
Here at Stride, we work with the Health Insurance Marketplace to help you get health coverage.
What’s the Health Insurance Marketplace?
The Marketplace is a health coverage service that helps you shop for and enroll in coverage that fits your needs and budget. The Marketplace can tell you if you qualify for an individual insurance plan with savings or whether you’re eligible for free or low-cost coverage through Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP). The official Marketplace website is HealthCare.gov.
Are there benefits to getting health insurance through the Marketplace?
Marketplace coverage is the only way to get premium tax credits to help lower your monthly premiums and savings on out-of-pocket costs with lower deductibles and copayments. All Marketplace plans must cover the same set of essential health benefits, including preventive care, doctor’s visits, prescriptions, and hospital and emergency services. No Marketplace plan can reject you, charge you more, or refuse to pay for essential health benefits for any condition you had before your coverage started. Learn more about what Marketplace plans must cover.
How do I apply for and enroll in coverage?
You can apply and enroll with us. We’ll send your information to the Marketplace through HealthCare.gov and let you know the programs and savings you’re eligible for. If any of your information changes, you can also update your application through us.
What if I’m eligible for Medicaid or CHIP?
If you fill out an application and learn that you’re eligible for coverage through Medicaid or CHIP, the Marketplace will automatically send your information to the state agency that runs these programs. We’ll give you an eligibility notice with more information.
How will I get notices?
Even if you enroll in coverage through Stride Health, you’ll still get some information directly from the Marketplace. Look for notices in the mail from the Health Insurance Marketplace and emails from HealthCare.gov. It’s important to read these notices and emails because they contain important information that you’ll only get from the Marketplace. We can help you with any follow up actions you may need to take, including requests from HealthCare.gov.
What if I’m redirected to HealthCare.gov?
We can help most people with their application and enrollment directly on our site. If we need to redirect you to HealthCare.gov to complete your application, we’ll walk you through what to do and help you start to finish.
Important Marketplace emails
If the Marketplace has your email address, they’ll automatically send you important information, updates, and reminders about Marketplace enrollment. You can opt out of these communications at any time. To do this, click on the "unsubscribe" link in the footer of any Marketplace email.
Privacy & the use of your information
The Marketplace will keep your information private as required by law. Your answers on this form will only be used to determine eligibility for health coverage or help paying for coverage. The Marketplace will check your answers using the information in their databases and the databases of other federal agencies. If the information doesn't match, the Marketplace may ask you to send them proof. The Marketplace won't ask any questions about your medical history. Household members who don't want coverage won't be asked questions about citizenship or immigration status.
As part of the application process, the Marketplace may need to retrieve your information from the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Social Security, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), and/or a consumer reporting agency. They need this information to check your eligibility for coverage and help paying for coverage if you want it and to give you the best service possible. The Marketplace may also check your information at a later time to make sure your information is up to date. The Marketplace will notify you if they find something has changed.
