When is Open Enrollment for Health Insurance in 2024?

Open enrollment is the period during which people can purchase health insurance for the upcoming year. If you don't sign up for health insurance during the open enrollment period, there's a possibility that you won't be able to sign up for health insurance until the next open enrollment period unless you experience a qualifying event.

While health insurance can be costly, Mira offers an alternative for just $45 per month. This includes affordable urgent care visits, low-cost lab testing, and discounted prescriptions. Sign up today to get started.
