When is Open Enrollment in Iowa?
For Iowa residents, Open Enrollment generally takes place in the fall through the federal Marketplace at HealthCare.gov. The exact dates are set each year, so it's smart to enroll early rather than wait until the deadline.
Enrolling earlier means your coverage can start sooner and you have more time to compare plans without rushing. We'll let you know the current window when you reach out.
