Private health insurance is a type of coverage that individuals purchase from insurance companies, brokers, or through employers. It offers a range of benefits, including coverage for medical expenses such as doctor visits, hospital stays, prescription medications, and preventive care. Unlike public health programs, private health insurance provides more flexibility in choosing healthcare providers and plans tailored to individual needs.

Enrollment in private health insurance typically occurs during the annual open enrollment period. For coverage starting in 2025, the open enrollment period runs from November 1, 2024, to January 15, 2025. Outside of this period, you may still qualify for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) if you experience certain life events, such as marriage, birth of a child, or loss of other health coverage.
