Nevada Health Link

The Nevada Division of Insurance estimates average health insurance premiums will rise by seventeen percent next year.

To help residents prepare, Nevada Health Link, the state's health insurance marketplace, has opened its website for Nevadans to preview health and dental plans early.

As KNPR's Anne Davis reports, the Division of Insurance's premium estimate applies to plans obtained on the exchange.

Off-exchange plans are expected to see a more moderate eleven percent premium hike.

Consumers can see premium costs, available financial assistance, and whether they qualify for enrollment in the reduced premium Battle Born State plans.

During last year's open enrollment period, one hundred and four thousand Nevadans enrolled in health coverage.

Nevada Health Link's executive officer says she expects similar numbers this year since the state's premium hikes aren't especially extreme.

October sixth was the deadline for the public to comment on the federal government's proposal to do away with the roadless rule.

Their health insurance open enrollment period for 2027 begins November 1st, and it ends January 15th.

Nevada Health Link is the state's health insurance marketplace, which helps individuals search insurance plans and sign up for the federal Affordable Care Act's subsidized plans.

On October 1st, Nevada's Division of Insurance announced the health insurance plans offered on Health Link would be increasing an average of 17% for next year.

This comes after last year's average health insurance plan increased by 34%.
