General explanation

Read your plan's annual notice

A plan's Annual Notice of Change describes changes to coverage, costs, and other terms for the coming year.

Plans send this notice before annual Open Enrollment. Use it with current plan materials to check your providers, medicines, pharmacies, and total costs for the next year.
This page does not receive your notice or current plan details. Do not enter them into the public education lookup.
