Open Enrollment begins Nov. 15

Open Enrollment for 2015 Marketplace health insurance coverage begins Saturday, Nov. 15. From then until Sunday, Feb. 15, people can find a new Marketplace plan, keep their current plan or find out if they can get help paying for coverage.

During Open Enrollment, coverage starts the first day of the next month for those who enroll between the first and 15th days of the month. It starts the first day of the second following month for those who enroll between the 16th and the last day of the month.

Those who don’t have health coverage during 2015 may have to pay a fee of 2 percent of their income or $325 per adult and $162.50 per child, whichever is more.
