Open Enrollment in or outside the Exchange begins in mid-November 2022, but some exceptions may apply if you have a qualifying event. If you have a qualifying event (i.e.: involuntary loss of coverage, marriage, birth, etc), you may get a special enrollment period to buy an individual health plan. Most special enrollment periods last 60 days from the date of the qualifying event.
Whether you’re interested in plans on or off the Exchange you may call Marjorie Harwood at 425-455-0501 x 112 or send her e-mail to obtain rates.
