How to Enroll

The Affordable Care Act has changed the way many people get health insurance. If you don't have coverage through your employer or you're not eligible for a government program such as Medicaid, CHIP or Medicare, you may have new ways to get health insurance.

Right now, you have 3 ways to enroll:

  1. Enroll with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL)
