Are you looking to get or switch your Marketplace health insurance during open enrollment (November 1, 2024 – January 15, 2025)? Beware of scams! Don’t click on ads offering free items like phones or cash cards for gas, groceries, or bills. These are likely scams. Also, be cautious of ads featuring famous personalities endorsing insurance plans; they might be computer-generated fakes. Instead, use the official Health Insurance Marketplace to find plans you qualify for, get help signing up, or enroll directly. Visit HealthCare.gov or call the Marketplace Call Center at 1-800-318-2596.
Protect your money and information by avoiding payments to anyone claiming to be from the Marketplace or government and demanding cash, cryptocurrency, or your credit/debit card numbers. Report scammy healthcare ads to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov.
