PHOENIX, Oct. 26, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Open
enrollment for the Health Insurance Marketplace in Arizona runs from Nov.
1 through Dec. 15. This year, Ambetter from Arizona
Complete Health is available to Arizona residents in nine counties through the
federal Health Insurance Marketplace. As the COVID-19 pandemic
continues to place an extra emphasis on health, Arizona Complete
Health continues to offer a variety of health insurance offerings
that are among the most affordable in the state.
"During the COVID-19 pandemic, people rely on health insurance
to provide a sense of security and peace of mind that they're
covered," said Martha Smith,
President and CEO, Arizona Complete Health. "As part of the
nation's No. 1 Marketplace insurer, Ambetter from Arizona
Complete Health has the experience and resources to help people
when it matters most, and now we're pleased to provide that same
dependable coverage to more people across the state."
Ambetter from Arizona Complete Health offers increased
value, convenient services, and benefits that help make health
insurance fit within people's lives. For those impacted by job loss
during the pandemic, Ambetter from Arizona Complete Health
provides an alternative that is often more affordable than COBRA,
the health insurance program that allows people to continue their
employer-provided coverage. While COBRA maintains a person's
existing coverage, they will pay 100% of the cost plus an
additional 2% in administrative costs, and subsides are not
available to reduce costs. COBRA will also eventually expire,
requiring a person to seek new coverage.
Valuable Rewards Program
Ambetter from Arizona
Complete Health members have access to the My Health
Pays® program, where they can earn points for
practicing healthy eating habits, moving more, saving smart and
being well. Through the program, members can complete
health-related activities and challenges. Members can earn
$500 in rewards* in 2021. These
rewards can be used for health-related expenses such as copays,
deductibles, and more. My Health Pays® also allows members
to set and reach health goals at their own pace by providing
seasonal suggestions for activities and guidance to help stay on
track.
Online Enrollment Assistance
Through the
Ambetter from Arizona Complete Health website, people can
browse and compare coverage options, determine their eligibility
for financial subsidies, and directly enroll in coverage – all from
one place. The platform is built for mobile access as well, so
people can enroll using their smartphones. If a person is unable to
complete enrollment all at once, the system will save their
progress and provide reminders to finish enrollment at their
convenience.
Access to Telehealth
Ambetter Telehealth
provides convenient, 24-hour access to in-network Ambetter
healthcare providers for non-emergency health issues. With a
$0 copay**, members can get medical
advice, a diagnosis, or a prescription via phone or video, without
having to leave their homes. The service also allows them to upload
images that can support their doctor consultation, and a summary of
the visit can be shared with their primary care provider.

Ambetter from Arizona Complete Health provides coverage for
all of the essential health benefits, including preventive and
wellness services, maternity and newborn care, pediatric services,
mental health, hospitalizations, prescription drug coverage, and
