If you purchase your own health insurance, this is the time to comparison shop different plans. If you have a 26-year-old child who is losing health coverage under you plan, be sure he or she enrolls in a
new plan for 2024. Enrollment applications must be submitted by Dec. 15 for a Jan. 1 effective date. Contact MDA Insurance for assistance with health plans from Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Priority Health, and other carriers by calling 877-906-9924. If you miss the open enrollment period, you
will not be able to change or enter a new health insurance plan until 2025 unless you have a qualifying event or the federal government extends the open enrollment period.
