ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – New Mexico’s Health Insurance Exchange, beWellnm, has announced dates and information for the 2018 Open Enrollment period. With the exception of those who qualify for special enrollment, Open Enrollment will be the only time to purchase health insurance for 2018.
The 2018 Open Enrollment period will begin on Nov. 1, 2017 and run until Dec. 15, 2017.
What you need to know about the 2018 Open Enrollment period:
- There will continue to be four health insurance carriers offering coverage for all counties in New Mexico, which are Christus Health Plan, Molina Healthcare, New Mexico Health Connections and Blue Cross Blue Shield of New Mexico.
- Regulators have approved insurance premium increases requested by these four carriers, but the increases will vary. Consumers should shop a variety of plans during Open Enrollment to identify what best fits their needs and budget.
