This week is the beginning of the open enrollment period for 2024 private health insurance -- a crucial opportunity for Oregonians to secure the coverage they need.
Open enrollment is the exclusive time of year when individuals can explore and then sign up for private health insurance. It runs from now through January 16th.
Oregonians who enroll by December 15th will receive coverage starting on January 1st while those who enroll by January 16th will receive coverage starting on February 1st.
The Oregon Health Insurance Marketplace offers quality health plans designed to meet all basic needs and more. With numerous plan options available, the Marketplace offers free local support for comparing and choosing a plan. Experts can also help to identify financial assistance options and cost savings eligibility.
As residents in Oregon and across the country continue to grapple with financial challenges, there are options available to help identify coverage within their budget, potentially at a price point lower than their current insurance.
