Open enrollment begins for Health Insurance Marketplace 2025
Deadline is Jan. 15
Open enrollment period into the Health Insurance Marketplace runs through Wednesday, Jan. 15, 2025. Through the Marketplace, individuals are able to go to one place to search for health coverage options and choose from the health plans available in their area.
Created by the Affordable Care Act (ACA), the Marketplace allows you to search for health coverage options and choose from plans available in your area. It will also tell you if you or your family members qualify for coverage through Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).
The best source for information about the Marketplace is www.healthcare.gov. The website is available 24/7 and provides information on how the Marketplace works, its benefits and key deadlines. You can also call 1-800-318-2596 to speak with trained customer service representatives 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
If you need further help, Parkland Health has certified application counselors (CACs) available from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., Monday through Friday in Parkland’s Financial Services Office located at 2021 Medical District Drive, Dallas, 75235, on the street level of the Parkland Tower Garage.
“We can help individuals with the website and with the 800 number,” said Bethanne Keating, Parkland’s Director of Patient Access. “We do not help them pick a plan, but we can tell them which plans Parkland is contracted with.”
In partnership with United Way of Metropolitan Dallas, Parkland has also trained certified application counselors for ACA enrollment at community partners CitySquare, Los Barrios Unidos Health Clinic, Inspired Vision Compassion Center and Marillac Community Center, among others.
If you miss the 2025 open enrollment period and do not qualify for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP), you will have to wait until open enrollment begins for 2026 Additional information on exemptions is available at www.healthcare.gov.
