Exchange platform
Idaho runs on State Based Marketplace. Confirm SEP and OEP deadlines on the state site when the household is not on the federal HealthCare.gov window.
Medicaid expansion
This state expanded Medicaid under the ACA. Households near 138% FPL may land in Medicaid instead of Marketplace APTC.
Open enrollment
Federal Marketplace OEP runs November 1 through January 15 for plan year 2026. Coverage effective dates follow Healthcare.gov rules for enrollments completed by December 15 and January 15. State based exchanges may publish different deadlines. Verify on the state exchange before you quote a last day to enroll.
