An important deadline is fast approaching for those who want an Affordable Care Act health plan that takes effect on January first. Applicants must be enrolled by the end of business on Monday, December 15.
Those who've already signed up, but want to make last minute changes, face the same deadline.
Partnership Health Center's Sandra Mytty says she and her staff have helped lots of people in the Missoula area select policies.
"We're actually doing really well. Since we started we've helped over 350 people since November 15 and we're still going."
This year’s enrollment deadline is three months earlier than last year’s.
Tax penalties for not having health coverage next year are also steeper than this year: $325 or 2 percent of your income, whichever is higher.
