The deadline to obtain new health coverage through the state’s exchange, known as Kynect, is fast approaching. Those interested in signing up for coverage that would start next month have until December 15 to select a new plan, though open enrollment continues until February.
The state reports close to 18,000 Kentuckians have applied since the second enrollment period began last month.
While individuals already signed up will have their coverage automatically renewed, officials are encouraging them to revisit the site and comparison shop to make sure they’re getting the best deal. The state has sent about 80,000 letters to those who gained coverage during the first enrollment period to update them on any changes in premiums and subsidies.
