More than 271,000 Washington residents have signed up or renewed their health insurance through Washington Healthplanfinder. There are 5 weeks remaining in open enrollment.

• Those who sign up by Sunday, December 15th will begin coverage on January 1st.

• Those who sign up between December 16, 2024 and January 15, 2025, will begin on February 1st.

“Now is the time to access health and dental insurance through Washington Healthplanfinder to start the year off right on Jan. 1,” Washington Health Benefit Exchange CEO Ingrid Ulrey said. “We are in the middle of a robust, record-breaking open enrollment period due, in part, to federal enhanced premium tax credits. We continue to be concerned that Congress may allow this assistance to expire at the end of 2025, which would result in steep premiums in 2026.”
