Get Your Charlotte Quote →Living in Charlotte gives you access to all plans available statewide on HealthCare.gov, plus direct-purchase private plans from major North Carolina carriers. With North Carolina's Medicaid expansion, low-income adults may also qualify for free coverage.
Enroll during Open Enrollment (Nov 1 – Jan 15) or during a Special Enrollment Period. Tax credits based on your income can make Silver plans extremely affordable.
Available year-round directly from carriers. Good for those who don't qualify for subsidies or need immediate coverage outside open enrollment.
