tl;drOpen Enrollment runs from November 1 to January 15 in most states. For coverage starting on January 1, most people need to apply by December 15. Make sure to check your state's details below!

If you miss a deadline for applying for health insurance, you could be left without coverage for the entire year ahead, unless you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period.
