Get a Head Start on 2019’s Individual Health Insurance Open Enrollment
Like last year’s Open Enrollment Period, the 2019 Open Enrollment Period to sign up for individual health insurance will last less than two months—45 days to be exact. This Open Enrollment Period will run between November 1, 2018, and December 15, 2018.
The first day that coverage begins is often called the effective date. In Pennsylvania, the Open Enrollment deadline (December 15) matches up with an effective date of January 1. This means that, as long as you enroll by the final deadline, your 2019 coverage will begin on the first day of the year.
