Does Georgia Have a Health Insurance Marketplace? (2026)

Yes. Georgia operates its own state-based marketplace called Georgia Access (GeorgiaAccess.gov) instead of using HealthCare.gov. You shop and enroll through Georgia Access, and you still qualify for the same federal subsidies — a licensed agent can help you enroll at no cost.

Georgia runs its own marketplace

Unlike most southern states, Georgia moved to a state-based marketplace, Georgia Access, at GeorgiaAccess.gov. That means Georgia residents don't use HealthCare.gov — you use Georgia Access to compare plans and enroll. You still get federal premium tax credits (subsidies).

How to enroll in Georgia

You can enroll directly at GeorgiaAccess.gov, or through a licensed agent who works with Georgia Access. Using a licensed agent is free — you pay the same price either way. Open Enrollment on state marketplaces sometimes runs a bit longer than the federal window (often through late January); confirm Georgia Access's current dates.

What this means for subsidies

Even on a state marketplace, your subsidy is based on household size and income under the same federal rules. Check your subsidy to see your exact monthly cost.
