The enrollment period to sign up for 2023 private insurance ended January 15. To enroll in private insurance now, you will need to qualify for a special enrollment period (SEP) due to a qualifying life event.
Note: A SEP is open through October 31, 2023, to individuals currently enrolled in unaffordable family ESI that does not renew on January 1 of the calendar year.
