What happens if you miss tonight's deadline

No coverage

✗ No health insurance for 2026
✗ Pay full price for all medical care
✗ Can't enroll again until November 2026
✗ No protection from surprise medical bills

Auto-enrollment trap

✗ Stuck in current plan at higher 2026 rates
✗ Miss cheaper plan options
✗ Doctors may no longer be in-network
✗ Could overpay thousands annually

If you don't have coverage: Do this NOW

Contact us immediately

We'll pull all available plans in your area, calculate your tax credit if you qualify, and show you every option side-by-side in minutes.

Compare plans fast

We'll focus on monthly premium, deductible, out-of-pocket maximum, and whether your doctors are in-network. Having coverage is better than having no coverage—we'll help you decide quickly.

Enroll before midnight

We'll handle the enrollment process and make sure everything's completed before 11:59 PM tonight. You can always change plans next year, but you can't go back and enroll today once the deadline passes.

If you have Marketplace coverage: Review before auto-enrollment locks you in

We'll review your current plan

Plans change every year—networks shift, premiums adjust, benefits get redesigned. We'll check if your current plan is still the best option or if better alternatives exist.

Update your income for accurate subsidies

If your income changed from last year, this recalculates your tax credit and shows your true monthly cost. We'll update this for you and compare all available plans based on your actual 2026 pricing.

Compare every available plan

We'll look at total annual cost—not just premium. We factor in deductible, copays, out-of-pocket maximum, and expected usage based on your health needs. We also verify your doctors and prescriptions are still covered.

Actively select your plan

Don't rely on auto-enrollment. It's designed for convenience, not savings. We'll help you select the best plan and can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars in 2026.

If you're paying full price: Consider private health insurance

If you don't qualify for subsidies or your income is above 400% of the federal poverty level, you're not required to use Marketplace plans.

  • Private PPOs often cost less: For those paying full premium, private plans frequently offer better value with broader networks
  • Year-round enrollment: Private plans aren't limited to Open Enrollment periods for ACA-compliant coverage
  • Nationwide networks: Many private PPOs offer coast-to-coast access without referrals or HMO restrictions
  • Direct specialist access: No primary care gatekeepers—see specialists when you need them

If Marketplace premiums jumped significantly and you're receiving minimal or no tax credits, we'll show you private options before midnight.

Why tonight's deadline matters

Open Enrollment ends at 11:59 PM tonight. Not tomorrow morning. Not next week. Tonight.

Once the deadline passes, you're locked out until November 2026 unless you experience a qualifying life event like losing other coverage, getting married, or having a baby.

Medical costs don't care if you missed the deadline. Emergency room visits can cost thousands. Routine prescriptions add up fast. Doctor appointments, specialist visits, lab work—all of it comes out of your pocket without insurance.

We'll compare your options and walk you through enrollment in minutes—before midnight tonight.

December 16, 2024 | By Robert Adams

Extended Open Enrollment: Don't Miss the January 15th Deadline

Good news! You still have time to get health insurance for 2026. Open Enrollment has been extended through January 15, 2026, giving you 30 extra days to compare plans and enroll with confidence.

⚠️ Important: If you missed the December 15th deadline for January 1st coverage, you can still enroll by January 15th for coverage starting February 1, 2026.

Key Enrollment Dates

The federal Open Enrollment period for 2026 began November 1, 2025 and closes January 15, 2026. This extended timeline gives you more time to:

  • Compare Marketplace and Private PPO plan options
  • Verify your doctors and prescriptions are covered
  • Calculate your subsidy eligibility
  • Enroll with a licensed advisor at no cost to you

What's Available for 2026?

There are several health coverage options available during Open Enrollment:

  • Marketplace Plans (Healthcare.gov): ACA-compliant plans with potential income-based subsidies
  • Private PPO Plans: Off-exchange underwritten options with broader networks, available only through licensed agents
  • Ancillary Coverage: Vision, dental, accident, critical illness, and short-term disability

Why Work With a Licensed Advisor?

Health coverage is too important to navigate alone. Working with a licensed health insurance advisor ensures you:

  • See all available options — both on and off the marketplace
  • Get accurate subsidy calculations based on your income
  • Have your doctors and prescriptions verified before enrollment
  • Receive year-round support for claims, renewals, and coverage changes

Best of all, there's no cost to you. Licensed agents are compensated by insurance carriers, not by clients.
