Kansas Department of Insurance
Kansas Insurance Commissioner Vicki Schmidt, today, released the annual “Overview of the Health Insurance Market in Kansas.” This report details the 2026 Kansas Health Insurance Market (Marketplace). The report can be found here.
Open enrollment is an opportunity for Kansans to make decisions about their health insurance coverage. They can stay on their current policy, if available, or enroll in a different policy from the same company or a different company.
“It is important for Kansans to make informed decisions when deciding which coverage is best for them and their families,” Schmidt said. “Open enrollment is the time to evaluate your coverage and chose a plan that is best for you and your family’s healthcare needs.”
The open enrollment period for Kansans will be from November 1 until January 15. Kansans who would like to start their health insurance coverage effective January 1 must enroll by December 15. Health insurance purchased on the Marketplace between December 16 and January 15 will not begin coverage until February 1.
Rates listed in the report reflect the non-renewal of the enhanced subsidies by Congress after December 31, 2025.
