“Accessible and affordable health insurance should be a guarantee in our country. That’s why I’m committed to doing everything I can to make the open enrollment process as quick and easy as possible for folks,” said Congressman Trone. “I encourage all Marylanders to become informed of their insurance options. After the last two years, health care coverage — especially mental health care coverage — cannot be taken for granted.”
Medicare open enrollment runs from October 15th through December 7th each year. In Maryland, the Affordable Care Act Marketplace open enrollment period runs from November 1st through January 15th. For more information on open enrollment use the resources below.
