Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update – Your Uninsured Employees Can Enroll in Health Insurance Now

Friday, April 3, 2020

Dear DC Health Link Point of Contact,

As part of our response to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak, we are offering a new special enrollment period so that your current employees who are not covered under your DC Health Link health plan can enroll in the health coverage you offer through DC Health Link. Your employees can sign up for health insurance coverage now even if they declined in the past. Dependents can also enroll.

We've made it simple. Your employee needs to login to their account or create one if they don't have an account. Your employee will see under 'Have life changes?' an option called 'COVID-19'. Just select COVID-19, pick a start date, and select a plan. This is all self-service online. But if your employees need help, we're here to help.

Send us a message online or call us at (855) 532-5465 / TTY: 711.

Stay safe and thank you for providing health insurance to your employees!

Mila Kofman
Executive Director
DC Health Benefit Exchange Authority

The COVID-19 special enrollment period is no longer available as of July 10, 2023 due to the end of the public health emergency.
