’Tis the season: Give yourself the gift of health insurance

-

Over 50,000 New Mexicans have already gotten the best gift of the season. They and their families all will be covered by health insurance for 2024 — and many of them for less than $10 a month.

Doorbuster­s and flash sales get all the attention at this time of year, but the biggest savings you may find this holiday season are right here with beWellnm, the state’s health insurance marketplac­e. More than 40% of our customers pay $10 or less a month for quality, reliable coverage, and we are the only place where you can qualify for special discounts to reduce the cost of your monthly premiums.

So, who qualifies? Consumers can get connected to coverage through beWellnm if they don’t have insurance through their employer and don’t qualify for Medicaid or Medicare. Your age, ZIP code and tax filing income help determine what discounts you can qualify to receive.

Want to talk about concierge-level shopping? We are here to help you for free. We have in-person, virtual and one-on-one support to ensure you receive any savings you qualify for and get the coverage that works best for your needs and your wallet.

BeWellnm has been helping New Mexicans for a decade, and we consistent­ly see consumers shocked when we let them know they qualify for health insurance for as low as $0 a month. Numerous times this open enrollment (Nov. 1-Jan. 16), customers have been surprised and overwhelme­d when they realize the weight of how they would pay for a medical emergency is lifted off their shoulders, and it cost them nothing or next to it.

For the very first time, New Mexico is leading the country in exceeding expectatio­ns for enrollment­s. In fact, our enrollment is up 22% year-over-year. I want to welcome the nearly 5,000 new customers who have locked in health insurance for next year. Come join them and see how we can help you.

You can come see us at our office, 7601 Jefferson NE in Albuquerqu­e, or schedule a personal session with a certified enrollment counselor by visiting bewellnm. com. You can also call 833-862-3935 for personal phone support. Our agents are available from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Friday and from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays during open enrollment.

Your health is important. This year, give yourself and your loved ones the gift of health insurance.

Bruce Gilbert is CEO of beWellnm.
