Individuals facing tax penalties for not having health insurance in 2014 still have a chance to sign up for coverage through the healtcare marketplace. Enrolling between now and April 30 will ensure they avoid additional fees when filing their 2015 taxes. Learn more about that process during a “MDwise Health Benefits Connection” event today at IU Health Starke Hospital. Representatives will discuss MDwise Marketplace plans and the Affordable Care Act. Specifically they will talk about how to enroll for the first time, how to re-enroll or select a different level of coverage, how to determine the best health plan to meet individual and family needs and the consequences of not signing up for coverage during this time. Representatives will be available from noon until 4 p.m. at the hospital in Knox. Attendees may RSVP online at www.MDwiseMarketplace.org/events, but it is not required.
