The Maryland Health Benefit Exchange has extended its deadline for residents to enroll for health insurance because of the record-breaking snowstorm.
Carolyn Quattrocki, executive director of the exchange, said in a news release Friday that the deadline for enrolling in a health benefits plan was extended from Sunday to11:59 p.m. Feb. 5.
Quattrocki says the exchange maintained call center operations at an out-of-state facility, but residents might not have been able to get help in person at offices because of travel difficulties after the storm.
