Vermont open enrollment 2027: dates and deadline.

Vermont 2027 open enrollment dates

Vermont Health Connect says: "Open Enrollment runs yearly, from November 1 to December 28." For the 2027 plan year that is November 1 to December 28, 2026. It is the earliest end date of the seven states covered here, and well before HealthCare.gov's January 15.

The date that decides when coverage starts

Vermont Health Connect's banner lists December 15 as the deadline for coverage starting January 1, 2027, and December 28 as the deadline for coverage starting February 1, 2027.

How Vermont differs from HealthCare.gov

This is the date most likely to catch a Vermonter out: open enrollment closes on December 28, 2026, not in mid-January. Vermont Health Connect also says its 2027 Plan Comparison Tool is live.

For comparison, HealthCare.gov's own dates and deadlines page lists November 1 as the start, December 15 as the last day to enroll for coverage starting January 1, and January 15 as the end of open enrollment, with February 1 coverage for those who enroll from December 16 through January 15. State exchanges set their own calendars, which is why the seven states on this site do not all match.

If you miss open enrollment

Vermont Health Connect says certain life changes let you have a Special Enrollment Period, and it also has an Exceptional Circumstances Special Enrollment Period application. Check its site for the qualifying events and timing.

What to do this week

• Open Vermont Health Connect and check whether your 2026 plan renews automatically or needs an updated application.
• Update household and income details before you pick a plan, since financial help depends on them.
• Write down the January 1 deadline above and finish a few days before it, not on the day.
• Check the plan's provider network and drug list for 2027, not just the premium.
