From November 1, 2025, the Open Enrollment Period (OEP) for 2025 is beginning. In most states, it ends by January 15, 2025.

The below chart shows the OEP date for the states where the Federal Health Marketplace policy was implemented. In this mode, the coverage begins from January 1st.

If you have a Special Enrollment Period then coverage of your policy begins from the first day of the month. In such cases, the signup date doesn't always start from the first day of the month.

For example, if you sign up on February 20 then your policy will start from March 1.

I missed my state’s Open Enrollment deadline. Can I still get healthcare coverage?

Yes, you can get health coverage even if you miss out on your state’s enrollment deadline. In such a case you can apply through a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) that makes you eligible to grab your health insurance.

You are eligible for SEP if you have been through qualifying life experiences or events. It can include:

  • Loss of your current health insurance.
  • Household events such as marriage, having a baby, divorce, accident, or a death in the family.
  • Change of address from one place to another.

What happens if I miss the SEP deadline?

In case you missed the 60 days of SEP from the date of qualification, then you have to apply for a new policy to get health coverage. The period to apply this new policy depends upon the qualifying circumstances of the individual.

Also, remember that If you missed those 60-day window priors, in such circumstances you have to wait until OEP to enroll for 2026.

Summing up…

The Open Enrollment Period (OEP) is essential for securing timely and effective healthcare coverage. Missing deadlines doesn’t mean all hope is lost, as Special Enrollment Periods (SEP) provide additional opportunities for coverage under qualifying circumstances.

Staying informed about state-specific deadlines and policies can save time and ensure uninterrupted health insurance benefits. One can check the enrollment date for healthcare insurance as per their respective states.
