AUGUSTA-- The Maine Department of Health and Human Services' (DHHS) Office of the Health Insurance Marketplace (OHIM) announced today that the fourth annual Open Enrollment period for 2025 will begin on Friday, November 1, 2024. Maine people without access to health or dental insurance coverage through their employer, Medicare, or the state's Medicaid plan, known as MaineCare are encouraged to find coverage through Maine's official health insurance marketplace, CoverME.gov.
Open Enrollment runs from November 1, 2024 through January 15th, 2025. Maine people can visit CoverME.gov to compare private plans, apply for financial savings, and enroll in a 2025 health and dental insurance plan.
Each year insurers that sell Individual and Small Group plans in Maine's pooled risk market must submit their proposed forms and rates to the Bureau of Insurance, using the System for Electronic Rate and Form Filing (SERFF).

There's a couple of noteworthy items going on here:
Open Enrollment (OE) for 2024 marked the third year Maine operated a state-based marketplace through CoverME.gov, after transitioning from a federally facilitated marketplace model.1 CoverME.gov is operated by the Office of the Health Insurance Marketplace at the Department of Health and Human Services. The structure of the state-based marketplace provides greater control and flexibility, in terms of operational components such as special enrollment periods, customization of the shopping experience, and marketing and outreach. This allows the marketplace to better meet and respond to the needs of Maine residents.
