At Sterling Benefits, we are proactively working with multiple resources to dissect the various facets of the law and to understand the guidelines and timelines it presents to our clients. You can expect that we will provide ongoing communications and information as interpretation and implementation details continue to unfold from the government.

Our priority at Sterling Benefits is to stay focused on delivering value and quality customer service to our customers as we work together with health care reform. Significant changes will take place in 2014. In the meantime, there are some items that will require attention much sooner. We will keep you posted as details and clarifications from the government are made available. We encourage you to review this information and utilize our office as a resource in addressing questions and concerns.

Health Insurance Open Enrollment Ends March 31


If you are seeking health coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace, be sure to apply before the end of the open season on March 31, 2014.

If you haven't enrolled by March 31, you won't be able to apply until the next open season, unless you qualify for a special enrollment period. The next open enrollment is proposed to run from November 15, 2014 through January 15, 2015.

There's no limited enrollment period for Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) -- you can enroll at any time.
