The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) introduced a new option for consumers to access health insurance using a Health Insurance Marketplace, also known as an Exchange. These online Marketplaces let consumers research, compare and enroll for health insurance plans.
In 2020, UnitedHealthcare participated in the Health Insurance Marketplace (Exchanges) in 4 states: Colorado, Nevada, Massachusetts and New York.
On 1/1/21, we are expanding our footprint in Colorado and entering the Health Insurance Marketplace (Exchanges) in these states including Arizona, Maryland, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Virginia, and Washington.
To help you prepare for new members participating with Exchange Plans in these 7 states on 1/1/21, please see the following resources:
