What is the “Open Enrollment” period?
Every year, mid-October through mid-November, the County holds an Open Enrollment period during which time you can make any changes to your health insurance plan without qualifying event restrictions. This is the perfect opportunity to review all your health insurance options to make sure you and your family are appropriately covered.
