Who We Are
HealthSource RI
HealthSource RI was created because buying health insurance is complicated. It’s our job to cut through the confusion and connect Rhode Islanders with affordable, high quality coverage.
We are the state’s official marketplace for health insurance coverage. That means we’re your only source for getting tax credits to lower the cost of your health insurance. If you don’t get affordable health insurance through a job or a family member, you can count on us to connect you with coverage that meets your needs and your budget.
We also offer flexible health insurance options for small businesses.
Since we opened our doors in 2013, we’ve cut the uninsured rate by two-third, and today, 96% of RI has health coverage.
The Affordable Care Act
HealthSource RI was created in 2013 as a part of the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, sometimes referred to as Obamacare. HealthSource RI is one of 12 state-based health insurance marketplaces. That means that Rhode Islanders who want to shop for health insurance and see if they qualify for financial help come to us, not Healthcare.gov.
