Pennie's Final Enrollment Deadline Is Approaching: January 31st Marks the Last Chance to Sign Up for 2026 Health Coverage

Time is running out to enroll in health coverage through Pennie for 2026. The Open Enrollment Period will close on January 31st, marking the final opportunity for Pennsylvanians to sign up for health insurance for the year ahead. Due to federal changes causing higher health plan costs, Pennie extended the Open Enrollment deadline to January 31st ensuring Pennsylvanians have additional time to review their options and secure coverage.

Pennie, the Commonwealth's official health insurance marketplace, is currently open at pennie.com and offers high-quality coverage options for individuals and families who do not have access to other health insurance. If you or someone you know does not currently have health coverage, this is the final time to act and visit pennie.com to explore your options to get enrolled.

"Open Enrollment is the one opportunity each year for Pennsylvanians to compare and enroll in health coverage that meets their needs," saidDevon Trolley, Pennie Executive Director. "Due to federal changes, costs are increasing but many Pennsylvanians still qualify for financial savings, and this is the final time to act. Enrolling by the deadline helps protect both your health in 2026 and your financial security in the event of an unexpected medical situation."

Speakers in Order:
Devon Trolley - Pennie Executive Director
James Reichenbach - Chief Community Impact Officer, Union Community Care
Lancaster Mayor Jaime Arroyo
Michael Humphreys - Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner
Representative Ismail Smith-Wade-El
Kristin Labezius - Pennie Certified Assister
