CMS Releases Final Enrollment Numbers for 2020

Last week, CMS released the final enrollment numbers for 2020. The report shows that approximately 11.4 million people enrolled in coverage through both the federal marketplaces and the state-based marketplaces. This is essentially the same as the number that enrolled in 2019. The report also shows that overall the average premium for consumers who enrolled went down approximately 3%. Additionally, 87% of consumers who enrolled in coverage through the federally facilitated marketplace (healthcare.gov) received assistance in the form of premium tax credits.
