Mark 2018 Open Enrollment dates & deadlines on your calendar

Open Enrollment for 2018 health coverage is less than 1 week away! Mark these key dates on your calendar so you don't miss the deadline to enroll. The Open Enrollment Period is shorter than in past years, so it's important to be ready.

• The 2018 Open Enrollment Period runs from November 1 to December 15, 2017. After Open Enrollment ends, you can't enroll in or change plans, unless you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period.
• Plans joined during Open Enrollment start January 1, 2018.
• Before you apply, you can preview 2018 health insurance plans and estimated prices based on your income.
