Ambetter from Sunshine Health Now Offering Marketplace Health Insurance Coverage in 33 New Counties

2020 NOV 06 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at CDC & FDA Daily -- Open enrollment for the Health Insurance Marketplace in Florida runs from November 1 through December 15, 2020. This year, Ambetter from Sunshine Health is available to Florida residents in 63 counties through the federal Health Insurance Marketplace. As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to place an extra emphasis on health, Sunshine Health offers a variety of health insurance options that are among the most affordable in the state.

“During the COVID-19 pandemic, people rely on health insurance to provide a sense of security and peace of mind that they’re covered,” said Liz Miller, CEO of Centene’s Florida health plans. “As part of the nation’s Number 1 Marketplace insurer, Ambetter from Sunshine Health has the experience and resources to help people when it matters most, and now we’re pleased to provide that same dependable coverage to more people across the state.”

Ambetter from Sunshine Health offers increased value, convenient services, and benefits that help make health insurance fit within people’s lives. For those impacted by job loss during the pandemic, Ambetter from Sunshine Health provides an alternative that is often more affordable than COBRA, the health insurance program that allows people to continue their employer-provided coverage. While COBRA maintains a person’s existing coverage, they will pay 100% of the cost plus an additional 2% in administrative costs, and subsidies are not available to reduce costs. COBRA will also eventually expire, requiring a person to seek new coverage.
