Kynect has an app for smartphones

Kentucky's state health benefits exchange, Kynect, is offering a free mobile app that will provide "on-the-go" access to the health-insurance marketplace.

The  smartphone app will allow you to log in to your account, browse plans, report changes in your circumstances, take photos of required verification documents and upload those photos directly to your account.

It can also help determine if you qualify for low-cost or free health coverage, get information about your coverage options, find out enrollment dates and learn how certain life events can qualify you to enroll now.

It allows you to log in to your Kentucky Online Gateway Account, look at the status of your health care plan or application, get more information about your current health care plan, access alerts, notifications or messages related to your account and view and update contact information.

And if you have further questions, it can connect you to an insurance agent or nearby "Kynector."

The app is available for download in the iTunes Store for Apple devices or in the Google Play Store for Android users.
