2022 Open Enrollment for Health Insurance

Understanding the best health insurance plan for you can feel complicated, but it doesn’t have to.

From now until January 15, 2022, you can work with a Blue Cross Blue Shield of Wyoming insurance agent to make sure you get the coverage you need for
2022.


If shopping for coverage for yourself or your family, here’s everything you need to know about open enrollment this year:

What is Open Enrollment?

  • Open Enrollment is the time when you can purchase or change your health insurance coverage through BCBSWY.com/shopping or Healthcare.gov. Members with existing plans that do not require changes will have their coverage auto renewed.

When is Open Enrollment?

  • 2022 Open Enrollment is November 1, 2021 – January 15, 2022.
  • Coverage for people who sign up during Open Enrollment before December 15 starts January 1, 2022.
  • Coverage for people who sign up between December 16, 2021 – January 16, 2022, begins February 1, 2022.

NEW – This Year!

Additional Cost-Savings

There are several low-cost plans available for 2022, because of the American Rescue Plan (ARP). The ARP expanded the availability of financial assistance for coverage through the Marketplace, making financial assistance available to more people and at greater levels. You may qualify for assistance even if you did not previously. As a result of the ARP, four in five consumers will be able to find health care coverage for $10 or less per month.
