What is Open Enrollment?

During this period, you and your family can join a health insurance plan. Some states have a different deadline, make sure you know your State’s Open Enrollment period.

How to Pick a Health Insurance Plan

Resources on Open Enrollment and Health Insurance Marketplace

Find out what information you need before applying for insurance. Make sure you have all of this information before you start in order to make this process as fast as possible.

Find out if your medication is covered. Each health insurance plan has a list of covered drugs, known as a formulary. Read our step-by-step instructions on how to find out if your prescription is on a plan’s formulary.

Find out what out-of-pocket costs you’re responsible for. Your health insurance plan’s deductible, copayment, coinsurance, and out-of-pocket maximum determine how much you will end up paying for care. Learn more about each of these factors.

Find out if you should expect a delay in getting your prescription. Find out if your medication requires prior authorization. If it does, your healthcare provider must fax a request to the insurance company for approval before you can pick it up from the pharmacy.

Learn about the various financial assistance programs available. There are several ways that you can find financial assistance to help cover your out-of-pocket costs.

Avoid plans with a copay accumulator adjuster program. These programs, which can be found in some health insurance plans, do not allow copay cards to go towards your final deductible. Learn more about copay accumulator adjuster programs.
