How to apply for health insurance coverage on HealthCare.gov - CC

How to apply
This is a video for individuals who need
to select a plan on the new health insurance marketplace which is run by
the federal government. Here you can find and enroll in a health
plan and determine if you qualify for financial assistance. We'll guide you
through an easy three-step process to create your account, determine your
eligibility, and enroll in a plan. After creating your account you can
visit healthcare.Gov at any time to complete your enrollment.

To get started, go to healthcare.Gov. You'll need social security numbers and income information for yourself and
anyone else you're applying for. Click "Log in" at the top right corner of
the home page. You must create an account before you
can search for a plan.

Now let's create your account. Click "Create one now" below the login button. Next you'll find a state selection page. From the white drop-down menu, select Hawaii.

Click "Learn about enrolling in 2016." Scroll down and click the green "Create
your healthcare.Gov account" box. Enter your zip code and select "Start a
marketplace application." Then click the green "continue" button. Continue following
the directions, such as filling in your address and answering security questions. Check the box at the bottom if you
understand and agree with the healthcare.Gov privacy policy.

Click the green "Create account" button. Sign into the email you used when you
created your account. Open the email from healthcare.Gov and click the
verification link. A message will appear to verify your
email address.

Go back to the top right corner of
healthcare.Gov and click "Log in." Here, fill in the e-mail and password you just used to set up your marketplace account. Review the terms and conditions and
accept if you agree. Click the green button to start a new
application. Choose Hawaii from the drop-down menu and click "Start my application." Please note that if you ever need to leave and come back to your application at a later time, or retrieve a confirmation number, simply log back in to your account.

Complete your identity and contact information. Click the green "continue"
button. Next, answer a few questions to verify your identity. Read through the privacy and use of
information statement.

If you agree, check the "agree" box and click the green "Take me to the application" button. Answer a few questions about your marital status, dependents such as your children, and estimated annual income. Here you can reference your last year's
tax filings. Click "continue." You'll be directed to a
series of yes or no questions.

Review and answer these questions and
continue. Your account has now been successfully created. Let's move on to step two, where we'll
determine your eligibility. To start, click the "next" button.

You may need the date of birth and
income information for family members who will be covered under your plan. Find and click on your name at the top
right corner. Select "my applications and coverage" from the drop-down menu. Select the coverage year, 2016, and your state, Hawaii, from the drop-down menu, and click "apply or renew." Click the green "next" button.

Review the privacy policy. Check the box if you agree to the Privacy Act statement, and click "save and continue." Here, fill in your contact information. Then, you'll need to note if you're getting help applying for coverage. When you're
done, click "save and continue." Next, move on to "Help paying for coverage." Here you
can select "yes," "no," or "I'm not sure" and click "save and continue." If you choose "yes" or "I'm not sure," you'll need to answer additional questions.

section in one sitting.

section, you'll need to re-enter the family and household information. Answer questions for each applicant and click "save and continue."
