\nLike we said earlier, you can shop the health insurance marketplace during the open enrollment period, which runs every year from November 1 to December 15. This means anyone living in the U.S can shop during this period. However, some states in the U.S extended their Open Enrollment Period.<\/p>\n
\nAnyone who registers during the Open Enrollment Period will have coverage beginning on January 1 and continue until December 31 same year as long as you make all monthly premium payments.<\/p>\n
\nIf you already enrolled in the previous year, you will be re-enrolled automatically in that plan the following year, provided your insurer is still offering the health insurance plan.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
