Pennie's goal is to make it easier for Pennsylvanians to access coverage through education, assistance, and improved customer service.

"Pennie is making health care more affordable than ever here in Pennsylvania and I urge anyone who is seeking affordable health care coverage to visit pennie.com today to start weighing their options, and to hopefully take advantage of the quality health care and services available," said. Gov. Wolf. "Having quality health insurance is a fundamental right all Pennsylvanians deserve. My administration has made exploring these benefits more readily accessible, right from your own home – you can calculate potential savings, check out coverage options, and enroll in the best plan for you, your family and your budget."

Pennie's Open Enrollment begins November 1 for coverage beginning January 1, 2023. Pennsylvanians should remember Pennie remains available to anyone experiencing a qualifying life event, such as moving to a new part of Pennsylvania or losing coverage from another source. Additionally, once the Public Health Emergency ends and Medicaid redeterminations are made, individuals may turn to Pennie for their health insurance coverage needs.

Additionally, for 2023 plans, Pennie made improvements to the marketplace shopping experience, which will now boast additional plan details and search features for Pennsylvanians to make more informed decisions.

"The Wolf Administration has remained dedicated to the health, well-being and financial security of all Pennsylvanians and has taken various paths to educate consumers about the importance of health insurance before, during and after COVID-19," said Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner Mike Humphreys. "Governor Wolf and I know Pennsylvanians want and deserve equal access to health coverage, including increased options within the individual market."

Pennsylvanians can begin shopping for health and dental coverage during Pennie's Open Enrollment Period, November 1, 2022 through January 15, 2023.
