At any stage in life, finding the right health insurance plan for you — and your family — is important. If you’re looking for individual and family plans and you’re under 65, there are many options to consider, depending on your situation.

For most health insurance plans, you can choose a plan or make changes to a plan you already have during open enrollment. That’s the most common time to get a health insurance plan. However, you can get certain plans like short term insurance or Medicaid at any time during the year.

When you’ve chosen the plan you want, you can enroll. The details of how to enroll will depend on the type of plan. You’ll usually give information about yourself, and other family members covered under your plan. You’ll also review the costs and benefits you’ve chosen.
