Open Enrollment

As a State-Based Marketplace, the state sets its own open enrollment window and can extend it beyond the federal dates, so residents should confirm exact deadlines on the state exchange site each year.

Nevada operates its own state-based marketplace, Nevada Health Link, rather than using HealthCare.gov. Residents shop for plans and apply for subsidies directly through the state exchange.

Nevada expanded Medicaid under the ACA, so adults earning up to 138% of the federal poverty level generally qualify for the state's Medicaid program instead of needing a subsidized marketplace plan.

Nevada Health Link moved to its own state-run technology platform after some years of using the federal system, so returning shoppers should expect a different look and enrollment flow than they may remember from HealthCare.gov. Comparing plan networks between the Las Vegas metro area and more rural counties is also worthwhile, since provider access can differ significantly across the state.
