What's New Maryland Health ConnectionStarting next year, federal rules will change health insurance in Maryland. We are here to help you understand what’s happening and what you can do to stay covered and save money.

4 things to know right now:

1.  Use Your Coverage. Your 2025 Plan Is Still Good!

If you have health insurance through Maryland Health Connection, your current 2025 plan hasn’t changed. Use your benefits through the end of the year.

Now is a great time to:

  • Schedule your free annual wellness checkup

  • Get care for health needs you’ve been putting off

  • Use your plan before any changes happen

2. Plan for higher costs

The extra savings (enhanced premium tax credits) funded by the federal government will probably end this year.

That means costs will go up in 2026.

But don’t worry - we’ll help you:

  • Compare plans

  • Find one that fits your budget

  • Connect with free help

3. Catch Up on Taxes Now

Don’t lose your coverage! Some people could lose their coverage if they did not file their taxes after getting financial help with payments.

 Here’s what you can do:

  • File your taxes if you haven’t yet (especially if you received premium tax credits in 2024. File your 2024 return and IRS Form 8962 to stay eligible for savings in 2026)

  • Look out for messages from Maryland Health Connection during open enrollment. We’ll let you know when you can explore 2026 plans or if we need documents for your application.

4. Some People May Need to Send In Extra Info

We may need to check your income again during Open Enrollment. If we do, we’ll send you a message.

Be sure to check your online account so you don’t miss anything.
