From Pennie
Pennie’s annual Open Enrollment Period is here. Open Enrollment began on Nov. 1 for 2027 health coverage. Open Enrollment is the annual opportunity for Pennsylvanians who need health coverage to shop and enroll in a health plan at pennie.com. Uninsured Pennsylvanians are encouraged to find quality health coverage by enrolling through Pennie.
Pennie is Pennsylvania’s official health insurance marketplace and is the exclusive source for financial savings to lower monthly premium payments or out-of-pocket costs. Four out of five Pennie enrollees qualify for financial savings.
Hundreds of thousands of Pennsylvanians remain uninsured and qualify for tax credits that lower the cost of health coverage through Pennie. Open Enrollment is the crucial time to ensure protection from emergency costs and connect to medical care when it’s needed. Anyone can use the savings calculator to get an estimate of financial savings and to shop and compare health plans across major health insurers at pennie.com.
All health plans available on Pennie provide access to a wide range of medical services, including hospitalization, prescription drugs, maternity care, mental health services, and much more. Health plans are from the top insurance companies and must cover care for pre-existing conditions, offer free preventive services, and provide important financial protections. Some plans available outside of Pennie claim to have these full protections but not all of them do. Enrolling through Pennie is the only way to be certain that you will have the highest protection against medical costs if you get sick or injured.
Plans and prices change every year. All current Pennie enrollees must update their information in their Pennie accounts and shop their health plan options to ensure they are in the best plan for them and their budgets for 2027. It is important for enrollees to make sure their income is as accurate as possible. Due to recent federal changes, there are increased penalties if income information is not up to date.
Consumers should enroll by Dec. 15 for coverage starting New Years Day. Pennsylvanians looking for health coverage through Pennie can visit pennie.com or call Pennie Customer Service at 844-844-8040. Pennie’s Customer Service Center is open Monday through Friday, from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m., and on Saturday, from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., during Open Enrollment.
