Enrolling in a health insurance plan is one of the best decisions you can make for yourself and your family. Open Enrollment for 2023 health insurance plans started November 1, 2022, and ends January 15, 2023.

Open Enrollment is the time when you can:

• Apply for a new individual or family health insurance plan
• Change to a different health plan type
• Make updates to your existing health plan, such as adding dependents

Any new plans or changes you make by December 15 will go into effect on January 1, 2023.
