HealthCare.gov Marketplace Enrollment During the 2021 Special Enrollment Period by Race and Ethnicity

In response to the COVID-19 Public Health Emergency, the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services provided a 2021 Special Enrollment Period (SEP) from February 15 to August 15, 2021. Understanding the sociodemographic composition of Marketplace enrollees allows for better targeted outreach and enrollment assistance. However, many enrollees do not report their race and ethnicity. Using imputation methods, this report presents enrollment distributions for plan selections, enrollment channels, average monthly premiums, and gender by race and ethnicity.
