Just in time for the fall semester, the Open Enrollment Period through NevadaHealthLink.com began on Nov. 1, allowing students and many Nevadans to enroll in a qualified health plan of their choice during a two-and-a-half-month period ending Jan. 15, 2022.

College students who find themselves in a transitional period — perhaps recently off the health insurance plans of their parents, but not quite there with a full-time job that offers employer-based coverage.

That’s why Nevada Health Link is an ideal option for college students who are looking for comprehensive coverage at an affordable price. The state-based health insurance exchange offers deep savings on name-brand health insurance and provides a choice of seven different insurance carriers and metal tiers, with 126 different plan options. College students can easily shop, compare plans and enroll through the NevadaHealthLink.com online marketplace.

Nevada Health Link is also the only place where Nevada college students can receive premium tax credits (subsidies) that lower monthly premium costs for enrollees.

The Open Enrollment Period is even more important than usual, since having health insurance is especially critical during a pandemic.

For students who have never navigated the process of enrolling in health insurance before, Nevada Health Link can help, by providing free enrollment assistance by certified experts who help you understand eligibility and find a policy that meets your health and budget needs.

For more information on Nevada Health Link’s Open Enrollment Period, to window shop for plans, or to seek assistance from a health insurance enrollment expert, visit NevadaHealthLink.com or connect on Instagram or TikTok. Don’t forget, you can do it from the comfort of your RTC bus ride using their free on board Wi-Fi!
