HOW TO ENROLL
There are two windows of time you can actively apply for a tax credit, shop and enroll in coverage through Your Health Idaho:
- During Open Enrollment
- When you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period
What is Open Enrollment?
Open Enrollment takes place yearly from October 15 to December 15. During Open Enrollment, Idahoans can apply for a tax credit and enroll in a health insurance plan for the coming year. Idahoans already enrolled with Your Health Idaho can make changes or renew their coverage for the next year.
What is a Special Enrollment Period?
Outside of the Open Enrollment window, you can only apply for a tax credit and enroll in or make changes to your health insurance coverage with a Special Enrollment Period. You must experience a Qualifying Life Event to qualify for a Special Enrollment Period,

Estimate Your Savings
Your Health Idaho is the only place Idahoans can apply for and receive a tax credit to help lower the cost of their monthly health insurance premiums. Some Idahoans may also qualify for Cost-Sharing Reductions when they enroll in a Silver Tier plan, which lowers out-of-pocket costs for things like co-pays and prescriptions.
More than 90% of Idahoans enrolled through Your Health Idaho qualify for a tax credit. See how much you could save on health insurance by visiting the tax credit estimator.
