Why it matters
Open Enrollment is often the main time to compare coverage without a separate qualifying event, so dates and plan details should be reviewed early.

Open Enrollment
Open Enrollment is a scheduled period when many people can enroll in, renew, or change certain insurance coverage for the next plan period.
Example
A health insurance shopper may use Open Enrollment to compare premiums, doctors, prescriptions, deductibles, and expected care for the next year.
Common mistake
A common mistake is missing the enrollment window and assuming coverage changes can still be made immediately afterward without a qualifying event.
