Mainers looking to sign up for health coverage through the state’s marketplace have until January 15.

Open enrollment through CoverME.gov began on November 1 and ends on Sunday. After that point, Mainers can enroll in coverage only if they qualify for the special enrollment period by experiencing a life event like losing insurance through a job or having a baby.

Maine DHHS says additional assistance is available through the American Rescue Plan.

As of Saturday, more than 62,000 Mainers had enrolled for coverage through the state marketplace.
