We have good news for women who care about their health! You have new rights and protections in the Health Insurance Marketplace starting in 2014.
Here are 4 things for women to know about the Health Insurance Marketplace:
1. You won’t be charged more for health insurance just because you’re a woman.
2. You can’t be denied coverage or charged more due to pre-existing conditions, like cancer or being pregnant.
3. You can choose from any primary care provider, OB-GYN, or pediatrician in your health plan’s network without a referral.
4. You’ll get free preventive care like mammograms, well-woman visits, contraception, and more.
And remember, the Marketplace covers essential health benefits and may lower the cost of coverage for men AND women.
Are you looking forward to getting covered in 2014? Open enrollment begins on October 1, 2013 and coverage can start as soon as January 1.
