Get Covered New Jersey is a new healthcare marketplace operated by the state, instead of the federal government’s healthcare platform Healthcare.gov. The state launched its own marketplace to provide better affordable healthcare coverage that is specific to New Jersey’s citizens' needs. Plans offered under Get Covered NJ include the essential health services required under the Affordable Healthcare Act (ACA). Residents who enroll in the plan will have access to different kinds of subsidies and other financial help to accommodate their budget; they may also qualify for the state’s public health program NJFamilyCare, which is offered through Medicaid generally at significantly lower-cost or free healthcare coverage.
Residents can now begin browsing health plans and prices and determine what they may qualify for and diverse financial assistance available to them by visiting Get Covered New Jersey.
