ATLANTA – Today, Georgians for a Healthy Future (GHF) is urging Georgia residents to act before the fast-approaching January 15th deadline, the last chance to secure health insurance through open enrollment for the year. Those who enroll by January 15th will have coverage starting February 1, 2025.
Missing this deadline will leave many without the financial protection and access to essential health services they may need throughout the year. Those who miss the deadline may still be eligible for coverage through a special enrollment period if they meet the qualifying criteria.
