For students and anyone enrolled in health insurance through KYNECT:
Open Enrollment is here for health insurance plans. This is when any one can enroll or change plans. If you had Kentucky Health Cooperative insurance in 2015, you must change your insurance company and pick a new plan. The Cooperative is not offering plans in 2016. Your coverage ends December 31st. The deadline to pick a new plan is December 15th if you want to have health insurance on January 1st. If you had 2015 coverage with another insurance company, you may have been automatically reenrolled in that coverage. You do not have to keep that plan. You may find lower costs and a better plan for you. You were sent an Open Enrollment package in the mail with the next steps to follow. Remember the deadline to have coverage January 1st is December 15th. If you need help, find out where to get it by calling 1-855-4kynect (459-6328). If you currently have Medicaid or KCHIP coverage, Open Enrollment ends on December 11, 2015.
