Enrollment in Oklahoma Health Insurance Marketplace to begin Nov. 1

OKLAHOMA CITY — The Health Insurance Marketplace in Oklahoma will open for the 2025 coverage year in November.

Nov. 1 is the date when individuals and families can enroll in, re-enroll in or make changes to their individual health insurance plans.

Open enrollment means residents can explore the various health insurance options available through the Marketplace in Oklahoma, finding the plan that best suits their needs and budget, state officials said. The deadline to apply is Dec. 15, for coverage starting Jan. 1, 2025.

Seven insurers will offer individual health plans for 2025: Blue Cross Blue Shield of Oklahoma (BCBSOK), Medica Insurance Company, Oscar Health, UnitedHealthcare (UHC), CommunityCare Oklahoma (CCOK), Ambetter of Oklahoma (Celtic Ins. Co.) and Taro Health. BCBSOK will offer a statewide plan, while the other insurers’ plans will be available in selected counties. These insurers will provide a range of health plans tailored to Oklahoma residents’ diverse needs, state officials said. Information on dental Plans offered in the state is available on healthcare.gov.

Oklahoma Insurance Commissioner Glen Mulready said health care costs are continuing to rise as demand increases, meaning it is more important now than ever that people are properly insured. Last year, more than 269,600 Oklahomans who renewed or purchased plans during open enrollment averaged $71 monthly premium cost after federal subsidies.

Plan options, monthly premiums and total annual out-of-pocket costs for 2025 will be available at www.healthcare.gov/see-plans/ later this month when the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services release the information.
