What's the difference between GetCoveredNJ and NJ FamilyCare?
GetCoveredNJ is New Jersey's official health insurance marketplace, where residents can shop for, compare, and enroll in affordable health coverage. It provides access to quality health plans and financial assistance programs, such as federal tax credits and state subsidies, to help lower the cost of insurance. GetCoveredNJ is designed to support individuals, families, and small businesses in finding comprehensive coverage that meets their needs. Open enrollment periods and special enrollment opportunities allow residents to apply for coverage throughout the year under specific circumstances.
