Open Enrollment for 2022 health coverage has started.
For 2022 coverage, the Open Enrollment period began November 1, 2021, and closes at the end of the day on January 15, 2022. If you plan to sign up, be sure to complete your application and select your plan before Open Enrollment ends.
If you want coverage to take effect on January 1, be sure to sign up no later than December 15. If you sign up after December 15, your 2022 coverage will take effect on February 1.

What information do I need to enroll in a health insurance plan?
Being prepared for Open Enrollment is key. As your local independent insurance agent, I will make sure you have everything you need to enroll in the best Marketplace health plan for you.
Getting Ready to Enroll
To help you get started, here are a few tips to get you started:
Gather information regarding your household income.
To determine if you’re eligible for health savings, you will need income information from your W-2, current pay stubs, or your tax return.
Start setting a budget to spend on your premiums each month.
I will help you determine which health plan meets your families’ health needs and your budget requirements.
Find out if your employer offers health insurance.
If your employer offers you health coverage, you will not qualify for Marketplace coverage. However, your family members will still be eligible.
