Once Open Enrollment ends, can I still enroll in health insurance?
Once Jan. 15, 2024 passes, Open Enrollment will be closed. Once Open Enrollment ends, Nevadans will only be able to enroll in health insurance if they meet certain special enrollment requirements. This could include the birth of a child, the loss of a job, marriage, or other significant life event.
