Georgia Access will go live on November 1, 2024, according to an Aug. 14 news release. Coverage will begin on January 1, 2025 for consumers who select a plan by December 16, 2024.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp signed legislation in 2023 that established the state-managed exchange. Gov. Kemp had previously looked to block Georgia residents from signing up for coverage on healthcare.gov. A state-managed ACA site had also been illegal in the state, which the legislation reversed.
According to CMS, 18 states and the District of Columbia currently run their own exchanges rather than using the federal marketplace, and Illinois will begin in 2025.
