During this season of open enrollment, the Arthritis Foundation is here to help you make an informed decision in selecting the best health coverage for your unique needs. Open enrollment is the time of year when individuals elect health care benefits through their employer, Medicare, Medicaid, or the federal and state health exchanges created through the Affordable Care Act. Open enrollment periods vary based on the type of insurance you have, but generally occur in the late fall.

As part of our commitment, the Arthritis Foundation hosted awebinar last monthto provide a general overview of open enrollment and the tools and resources you need to secure the best health care for you and your family.
