When it comes to your health insurance, Open Enrollment is the most important time of the year. This is the time that you’ll be able to change your plan, or enroll in a new one that better suits your needs and saves you money. It’s imperative that you know when the Open Enrollment Period (OEP) starts and how long it lasts so that you don’t miss out! If you do miss the OEP, you may have to wait an entire year in order to make changes, that is unless you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP). With all that being said, it’s super important to act before the deadline and avoid waiting until the last minute. To help you on this endeavor, we’ve outlined the key OEP dates for every state, to ensure you have ample time to get enrolled!

 

 

The 2025 OEP begins November 1st, 2024 in most states, and since changes to the OEP last year, it generally runs through January 15th in most states. Some states, though, have extended their OEP a little longer. Take a look at the following so you know when your state’s OEP begins and when it ends.
