HealthConnect

Helping Dane County residents pay for health insurance

The health insurance Marketplace is opening back up on February 15 through May 15 to help ensure that more people can get access to health insurance as the pandemic continues on. If you’re planning on enrolling in a plan during this time and are eligible for HealthConnect assistance, the entire cost of your monthly premium can be covered for the remainder of this year. Simply apply today to get the help you need.

Make too much to qualify for BadgerCare, but not enough to afford your health insurance? Use the Health Insurance Marketplace, but can’t afford your premiums? This program may help.

United Way of Dane County can help lower-income individuals and families who make too much to be eligible for BadgerCare purchase insurance in the Marketplace via our HealthConnect Premium Assistance Program. Made possible by generous donations from UW Health and Quartz, HealthConnect can pay the balance of eligible participants’ monthly health insurance premium not covered by the Premium Tax Credit available through the Health Insurance Marketplace.

Open enrollment begins November 1 and runs through December 15. If you enroll in your plan within that time and are eligible for HealthConnect assistance, the entire cost of your monthly premium can be covered starting January 2021. Simply apply today to get the help you need.

I was having a mental health crisis before HealthConnect, knowing that maintaining my physical health would ruin me financially. Now I can afford to be alive. THANK YOU!

HealthConnect has helped me put some of my financial worries aside and concentrate on a living a happier lifestyle. I’m now able to pay off my debt and see my doctor on a regular basis to help with my family history of heart disease.
