What Is CoverME.gov — and Why Is It So Tricky?

CoverME.gov is a government-run platform where you can compare health insurance plans, check for discounts, and enroll in coverage.

But here's the catch — the platform can be overwhelming. Between income estimates, subsidy qualifications, and dozens of plan options, it’s easy to get stuck or make a choice that isn’t the best fit.

That’s where we come in.

Who Qualifies for CoverME.gov

CoverME.gov is Maine’s official health insurance marketplace. It’s designed for people who don’t have access to affordable coverage through an employer or other program.

You may qualify if you:

-Are self-employed or a small business owner

-Work part-time or seasonally

-Recently lost employer-sponsored insurance

-Are between jobs

-Don’t qualify for Medicare or MaineCare

Not sure if you’re eligible? We’ll walk you through it.

Enrollment Timeline & Deadlines

Extra Protection for the “What Ifs” in Life

Why Add Extra Coverage?

Even the best insurance plans can leave gaps — especially when life takes an unexpected turn. That’s where ancillary products come in.

Whether you're raising a family, just starting out, or planning for retirement, these add-ons can help protect you from surprise costs when the unexpected happens.
