Medicare Open Enrollment, which runs from October 15 to December 7, 2015, is the period when qualifying individuals can sign up for Medicare coverage for the first time or make changes to their current Medicare health and prescription drug plans. Signups or changes made during this open enrollment window will go into effect on January 1, 2016.
In addition, healthcare coverage for individuals under the age of 65 may be purchased through the federal Health Insurance Marketplace during the Open Enrollment period for the Affordable Care Act. Open Enrollment extends from November 1, 2015, to January 31, 2016, with different effective coverage dates depending on the specific time of enrollment. Coverage obtained prior to December 15, 2015, will go into effect on January 1, 2016, while coverage obtained between December 16, 2015, and January 15, 2016, will kick in on February 1, 2016.

We’re here to help ensure our clients find a great plan during the open enrollment period so they can get healthcare coverage as soon as possible.”
