Open Enrollment Ends January 31st

Open Enrollment ends January 31, 2017.  If you haven't already enrolled in a plan for 2017, there is still time.  Without credible coverage, you will be responsible for paying the tax penalty.  You must have your plan for 10 of 12 months in 2017 to avoid paying the penalty.

  • New plans chosen by January 15th will have a February 1st start date.
  • New plans chosen between January 16th and the 31st will have a March 1st start date.

After January 31st, open enrollment is over and you can only get a plan if you are eligible for a "special enrollment period."
