Health coverage is a fundamental necessity, and the ACA Open Enrollment period is a crucial opportunity for individuals to secure or update their health insurance plans. We understand that navigating insurance options can be overwhelming, but knowing the key dates can significantly simplify the process. Preparing now ensures you won’t miss out on crucial coverage deadlines.

Important ACA Key Dates

• November 1, 2025: This is the first day you can enroll in a new plan, renew, or make changes to your existing plan for the coverage year 2026.
• December 15, 2025: Deadline for enrollment if you want your coverage to begin on January 1, 2026.
• January 15, 2026: The final day of open enrollment. Plans selected by this date will start on February 1, 2026.
• After January 15, changes can only be made during a Special Enrollment Period, qualifying for events such as marriage, birth, or loss of coverage.
