HEALTHSOURCERI: GET HEALTH INSURANCE FOR 2016

HealthSourceRI (HSRI) is our state’s health insurance marketplace. Rhode Islanders looking for health insurance—and options to pay for it—have a one-stop shop with HSRI. Rhode Islanders eligible for Medicaid can also enroll via HealthSourceRI.

How to Enroll in Coverage Whether you do it yourself or need a little help, it’s good to know what options are available! Remember: you must renew your plan annually: HealthSourceRI provides enrollees with the option of auto-renewing their health coverage. Watch the mail for: your notice of renewal and official renewal packet.

Enroll/re-enroll online at www.healthsourceri.com

o You can enroll/re-enroll in coverage through the HSRI website. If enrolling for the first time, you will need to create a personal account. Once your information has been verified, you will have your username and password to log in and continue the enrollment process.

In person assistance: Make an appointment with a Navigator! Navigators are trained and certified through HSRI in partnership with the Rhode Island Health Center Association. Navigators will help you review your health insurance options, complete an application, and enroll in a plan that best fits your needs.
