Open Enrollment
Medical open enrollment allows individuals to start, stop, or modify their health insurance during a specified time, which applies to employer-provided plans, Medicare, and plans through the marketplace, i.e., heatlhcare.gov. Open enrollment timeframes can vary between medical insurance types. For example, open enrollment for Medicare is October 15th to December 7th, while the national marketplace enrollment is typically from November 1st to December 15th. Open enrollment for employer-provided plans is determined by the company's plan year, but all employees should be notified in advance for the coming year.
