Healthcare.gov Support Phone Number
The verified contact block above lists the official Marketplace Call Center line. Use that number when you need help with a Marketplace account, application, eligibility result, enrollment, or coverage record. Representatives from the federal Health Insurance Marketplace answer the line.
If you searched for the phone number of Healthcare.gov, the customer service number for Healthcare.gov, or the Healthcare gov customer service number, compare what you found with the verified contact block before calling. The article does not repeat the number because contact details can change.
Calling is especially useful when you cannot sign in, no longer have access to the email address connected to your account, cannot receive a security code, or need help finding an application submitted by phone or on paper. For a simple password or username problem, try the recovery options on {site} first. Do not create a second account when you already have one.
Hours of Operation
The Marketplace Call Center is staffed every day and throughout the day and night, except on certain holidays. Because holiday closures can change, check the verified contact block or the official contact page before relying on the line during a holiday.
Waits may be longer when many people are applying or updating coverage. If the issue is not urgent, try the online account or call again later. If the line is unavailable because of a holiday, use the online options described below or wait until regular service resumes.
What to Have Ready Before You Call
Gather the information connected to your account or application. The representative may need it to locate your record and verify your identity.
- Your Marketplace username and the email address used for the account.
- Your full legal name and date of birth.
- Your current address and the phone number listed on the application.
- Your Application ID, if you have already submitted an application. It appears on the eligibility notice and helps the representative find the correct record faster.
- Your Social Security number, if one was provided on the application and the representative needs it for identity verification.
- Any Marketplace notice related to the problem, including its date and the wording of any message or request.
- The names of household members connected to the application, when the question concerns their coverage or eligibility.
Keep sensitive information private while you wait. Call from a place where other people cannot easily hear it, and do not share passwords or security codes with an unexpected caller.
What This Line Can and Cannot Help With
The Marketplace Call Center can generally help you start or continue an application, check whether eligibility results are ready, locate an existing application, understand Marketplace notices, complete enrollment, report changes, and troubleshoot account access. It can also check whether requested documents have reached the Marketplace.
Representatives can explain available Marketplace coverage information and answer questions about the enrollment process. They may also direct an application to the appropriate state agency when the record indicates that a household member may qualify for Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program.
The line cannot replace every online or written process. Documents requested by the Marketplace generally must be uploaded through the account or sent using the instructions in the official notice. The contact page says questions and documents are not accepted by email.
A formal appeal is also separate from an ordinary customer service call. If you disagree with an eligibility decision, follow the appeal instructions and deadline in your eligibility notice. The Call Center can point you toward official information, but a conversation with a representative does not by itself submit a written appeal.
Questions about a coverage claim, provider network, member identification card, or benefits administered by an insurer usually belong with the insurance company. Use the contact information on the insurer’s official correspondence or member card.
Other Ways to Get Help
Open {site} to sign in, recover a username or password, review applications and notices, upload requested documents, or check common troubleshooting guidance. If you cannot access the email or phone used for account security, the Call Center is the appropriate next step.
The official site also has a Find Local Help directory. Search by your location for Marketplace-trained assisters and organizations that can provide help in person, by phone, or by email. Check each listing for its available services, languages, and appointment details.
If you submitted an application on paper or by phone, your eligibility notice contains the Application ID needed to continue. If the notice has not arrived, a Call Center representative may be able to check whether the results are ready and provide the ID after verifying your identity.
Avoiding Look-Alike or Scam Numbers
Use only the number in the verified contact block or the official government contact page. Search advertisements, social media posts, copied directories, and unsolicited messages may display look-alike contact details that do not belong to the Marketplace.
- Confirm that the page is an official United States government page and displays the expected government markings.
- Do not trust a caller merely because caller identification shows a familiar name.
- Be suspicious if someone asks for bank details, a card payment, gift cards, cryptocurrency, or personal medical history while claiming to represent the Marketplace.
- Never give an unexpected caller your account password or a temporary security code.
- If a call feels wrong, hang up and place a new call using the independently verified official number.
A genuine representative may ask for identifying details to locate an application and confirm who you are. The difference is that you initiated the call through a verified official channel. If you think you disclosed information to an impostor, contact the Marketplace through that channel and follow official fraud-reporting guidance.
