For 2024 health plans, Idaho open enrollment runs from October 15, 2023 to December 15, 2023.

Once open enrollment ends, you may still be able to purchase health insurance if you qualify for a special enrollment period. For example, if you’ve recently lost your job or other significant income, you might qualify for a 60-day special enrollment period that will allow you to sign up for a new health insurance plan.

You can go directly to the online health insurance marketplace for Idaho to get covered. If you need personalized help, you can reach out to an enrollment assistant. Most enrollment helpers are working remotely during the COVID crisis.

Where's the Idaho Health Care Exchange?

You can find the Idaho health insurance exchange at Your Health Idaho. This is where you will learn about the specific health insurance plans available to you under Obamacare. If you see a plan you like, you'll be guided through the enrollment process online.

Getting Personalized Help with Enrollment

In Idaho, if you need help understanding your options for coverage under Obamacare or signing up for a plan, you can get assistance from a certified enrollment counselor or from a health insurance broker or agent. Both are free.

Enrollment counselors can explain your options, answer your questions, and help you apply for your chosen plan, but they can't recommend a specific one for you. 

Find an enrollment counselor. To find a Idaho certified enrollment counselor, broker, or agent, use the Find Help page at Your Health Idaho.

Licensed health insurance agents or brokers can also help you understand your health care coverage options under Obamacare. Unlike government-trained counselors, brokers and agents are allowed to suggest the best plan for you

To directly connect with a Idaho insurance broker who can help you evaluate insurance plans and choose a plan that's appropriate for your situation, visit the YHI Agent Page at Your Health Idaho or call 800-943-6832. (We receive advertising income from the licensed brokers who offer their services through this telephone number.)

Talk to Your Health Idaho. If you want to get over the phone, Your Health Idaho offers telephone support at 855-944-3246.

Help for Small Businesses

If you run a business with 50 or fewer employees, you can get help from the Idaho SHOP (Small Business Health Care Options Program).
