Washington consumers who qualify can sign up for health and medical plans through Washington Healthplanfinder until 11:59pm on December 23 for coverage that starts January 1.
  • Online: 24/7 at wahealthplanfinder.org
  • By phone: 1-855-WAFINDER (1-855-923-4633). Normal hours are 8am to 8pm every weekday. Extended hours: 
    • Dec. 15 from 8am to 10pm
