Choosing Insurance on the Marketplace? Bronson Can Help You Find the Right Plan for 2026.
If you’re choosing a health insurance plan for 2026 through the federal Health Insurance Marketplace, Bronson is here to help. Making sure you have the right coverage is important so you can continue receiving care from your trusted Bronson providers.
Navigating the Marketplace can be confusing, which is why Sally Wilkins, a Certified Application Counselor from Bronson’s Community Health Advancement team, is offering free, one-on-one support for anyone enrolling in a Marketplace plan.
Whether you’re renewing a plan from 2025 or choosing Marketplace coverage for the first time, Sally can help you:
- Understand the differences between plans
- Review costs and see which plans include Bronson providers
- Navigate the enrollment process on healthcare.gov
Tip: When exploring plans on healthcare.gov, use the filters to check which plans include Bronson providers. Look for the green check mark to confirm in-network coverage or the red X if a provider isn’t included. This ensures you can continue receiving care from your trusted Bronson providers.

Key Health Insurance Marketplace Deadlines for 2026 Coverage
- December 15, 2025: Last day to enroll for coverage that begins January 1, 2026
- January 15, 2026: Last day to enroll for coverage that begins February 1, 2026
- December 31, 2026: All 2026 Marketplace coverage ends
The final deadline to update or renew your 2026 Marketplace coverage is January 15, 2026. If you are not enrolled by this date, you will only qualify for coverage if you have a Special Enrollment Period (SEP), for example, due to loss of Medicaid or employer-sponsored insurance.
Most people who bought Marketplace insurance for 2025 will be automatically re-enrolled in a similar plan for 2026. However, automatic renewal is not guaranteed. It’s important to log in to healthcare.gov to compare your options and update your information. Prices and available tax credits change each year, so reviewing your plan helps ensure you receive the correct financial assistance.
