Health Department Assisting with Insurance Enrollment

By Beacon Staff

The deadline to enroll in a health insurance plan through the online marketplace is March 31. To assist individuals and families, the Flathead Community Health Center, a division of the Flathead City-County Health Department, has certified application counselors available for enrollment events.

Consumers who enroll by March 31 “will not have to pay the individual responsibility payment for the time that they are without health insurance coverage in 2014,” according to the health department.
