Mark your calendar: Affordable Care Act open enrollment for 2027 coverage opens November 1, 2026. Here in PA, the window is set to run through January 15, 2027 -- but deadlines vary widely by state, and there's been ongoing back-and-forth this year over federal rule changes that could shorten it. A few things worth knowing:
βͺοΈ Outside of open enrollment, you can generally only sign up for ACA-compliant coverage if you have a qualifying life event
βͺοΈ Enrollment windows differ significantly by state, so don't assume a headline you saw applies to you
βͺοΈ Rules are still being finalized in some areas, so timelines are worth double-checking closer to November
Let LKC&P help you navigate the exchange, compare plans, and get enrolled before the window closes.
