Illinois Insurance Coverage Help
Illinois Medicaid is run by the Department of Healthcare and Family Services, and as of November 2025 Illinois runs its own state-based ACA marketplace, Get Covered Illinois, replacing the federal HealthCare.gov site. GetFastRates.com is free to use for Illinois callers working through Medicare, ACA, life, or supplemental coverage questions.
Coverage questions in Illinois.
Medicare, health, life, and supplemental insurance can depend on state, carrier, enrollment timing, household details, and personal needs.
Illinois Medicaid is administered by the Department of Healthcare and Family Services (HFS) -- HFS is the right place to start if your Illinois Medicaid eligibility changed.
Illinois switched from the federal HealthCare.gov Marketplace to its own new state-based marketplace, Get Covered Illinois, effective November 1, 2025 -- Illinois ACA shopping now happens on the new state site.
Free Medicare counseling is available in Illinois through the Senior Health Insurance Program (SHIP) at 800-252-8966, run by the Illinois Department on Aging and separate from GetFastRates' own free phone help.
