What is the Deadline for Business Open Enrollment?

December 23, 2020

If you are a business owner looking for health insurance but could never enroll because of participation requirements? This period is for you! Your group qualifies for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP)!

Business open enrollment is from November 15th to December 31st for a January 1st, 2021 effective date.

Technically you need 75% of your employees to opt into a group health insurance plan, but during the open enrollment, that requirement is waived, and you can enroll even if only one person is insured. The SEP’s main requirements for your business are that you have at least one W-2 employee on the plan, besides the owner and the spouse of the owner.

Bottom line don’t just sit back and swallow a premium increase. There may be better plans for you out there today, with benefits that better suit your needs, a better provider network and/or more competitive premium.
