Pennie celebrated its 5th Open Enrollment Period on November 1, 2024, for the 2025 coverage year. Uninsured Pennsylvanians are encouraged to join the over 435,000 customers who have found peace of mind and financial protection by enrolling in health coverage through Pennie.
Open Enrollment is the annual opportunity for Pennsylvanians who need health coverage to find high-quality health plans at the lowest costs at pennie.com. Pennie is Pennsylvania’s official health insurance marketplace, and the exclusive source for financial savings to lower monthly premium payments or out-of-pocket costs.
Pennie is available for anyone who does not get health coverage from their employer or through a government program like Medicaid or Medicare. Nine out of 10 Pennie customers qualify for on-the-spot tax credits and save more than $500 a month on average on their health plans. The tax credit amount is based on household income.
Plans and prices change every year. If you have looked at Pennie before, now is the time to look again to see what health plan options you have for 2025. For current Pennie enrollees, Open Enrollment is when you can update any household changes and shop for other health plan options.
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.
The first deadline is December 15th 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.
