- Annual open enrollment is November 1 – December 15
- If you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP), you can enroll in health insurance outside the annual Open Enrollment period. You qualify for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) if you’ve had certain life changes like getting married, having a baby, or losing job-based health insurance. These are called “qualifying life events.”
- Members of federally recognized Indian tribes can enroll in or change plans once a month throughout the year.
