Does Ohio use Healthcare.gov?
Yes. Ohio participates in the federally-facilitated Marketplace (FFM), so enrollment and subsidy applications run through healthcare.gov. Ohio does not operate a state-based exchange for PY2026.
Has Ohio expanded Medicaid?
Yes, effective January 1, 2014. Gov. John Kasich used the Ohio Controlling Board to approve Medicaid expansion funding over legislative resistance. Adults 19-64 up to 138% FPL qualify regardless of parental status or disability, so there is no coverage gap in Ohio.
Which carriers sell Marketplace plans in Ohio?
Ohio's carrier map is relatively fragmented. PY2026 participants historically include Medical Mutual of Ohio, CareSource, Ambetter / Buckeye Health Plan (Celtic / Centene), Oscar, Molina, and AultCare (Northeast OH / Stark County). Lineup varies by county; confirm on healthcare.gov during Open Enrollment.
