The 2021 Open Enrollment Period for individual health insurance plans under the Affordable Care Act started Sunday and runs through Dec. 15.
Oklahomans who do not have health insurance through their employer, Medicare, or Medicaid may be eligible to purchase coverage through the health insurance marketplace. Due to COVID-19’s impact on Oklahoma employers and communities, the Oklahoma Insurance Department expects to see increased demand for ACA individual health insurance plans, including on and off-exchange health plans.
“We strive to support all Oklahomans looking for coverage and recognize many who lost their employer coverage due to the pandemic may be new to the marketplace,” said Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner Glen Mulready. “I made it an early priority to increase options for consumers and I am excited to meet our goal and double the number of plans on the marketplace.”
“Shop around and look for a plan that truly meets your needs. I encourage you to talk with your insurance agent to become familiar with marketplace options,” Mulready said.
If you are currently uninsured: you can visit healthcare.gov to compare plans and enroll in a plan that meets your health care needs.
If you already have health insurance: you will be automatically re-enrolled in your existing plan if it is still available.
