Louisville Open Enrollment 2027
Open enrollment for 2027 coverage runs November 1, 2026 – January 15, 2027. Outside that window, Louisville residents need a qualifying life event to buy or switch a marketplace plan.
| 2027 Open Enrollment | Date |
|---|---|
| Open Enrollment opens | November 1, 2026 |
| Last day to enroll for coverage starting January 1 | December 15, 2026 |
| Open Enrollment closes (coverage starts February 1) | January 15, 2027 |
Most Louisville residents live in Jefferson County, where plan choices and prices are set by county and ZIP code. Kentucky runs its own marketplace, kynect, so you enroll there rather than on HealthCare.gov. The dates above are the standard federal dates; kynect sets its own deadlines, so confirm them on its site or see 2027 deadlines by state.
What changes for Louisville enrollees in 2027
- Smaller credits, and a cliff at 400%. With the enhanced credits gone, a single adult in Louisville earning $35,000 is expected to pay about $219/mo toward the benchmark Silver plan in 2027 (credit $183/mo). Earn over $63,840 and there is no credit at all, so at today's $402 benchmark you would pay full price — see what else changed.
- Compare before you renew. If you do nothing you are usually re-enrolled, but Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and other Louisville carriers can change premiums, networks and drug lists for 2027. Shop again before December 15, and update your 2027 income estimate so you are not repaying credit at tax time.
- Medicaid: Kentucky expanded Medicaid, so adults earning up to 138% of the poverty level — about $22,025 a year for a single adult in 2026 — usually qualify for Medicaid instead of a marketplace plan, and can apply any time of year.
