The Hawaii Health Connector is opening a special enrollment period for individuals and families who do not have health insurance, and owe a fee on their 2014 federal taxes for not having health insurance. The enrollment period begins now and ends April 30. During this time, individuals and families who meet the above criteria will be able to enroll in health coverage for 2015.
There are three ways to apply: Make an appointment with a certified Kokua or licensed health insurance agent, call the Customer Support Center between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Monday through Friday toll-free at 877-628-5076, or apply online by creating an account and completing an application.
The fee for people who don’t have coverage increases in 2015. In 2015, the fee is $325 per person or 2 percent of household income, whichever is higher.
