Do you need health coverage but don’t know where to start? You can visit bcbsok.com to view and compare all our family and individual health plans, including the plans we offer on the Health Insurance Marketplace.

In most cases, you can only sign up for a health insurance plan during the open enrollment period, from Nov. 1 through Jan. 15. Sign up by December 15 for coverage starting on January 1.  Any other time, you can sign up if you have a change that qualifies you for a new plan during a special enrollment period. During this time, you can apply for a BCBSOK Individual health plan for yourself or your family. 

You’ll have three options when you are ready to enroll:

1. Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Oklahoma: Shop Online or Call
   You can sign up for health insurance online using our shopping site. You can also call us at 866-793-8115. You’ll be able to compare all BCBSOK plans, including the plans we offer on the Health Insurance Marketplace.
2. A licensed insurance agent
   An agent can help you find the plan that's best for you. And since agents are paid by insurers based on the plans they sell, there is no charge to you for their help.
3. The Health Insurance Marketplace
   If you think you may qualify for help with the cost of getting covered, you can shop on the federal government website, the Health Insurance Marketplace. The marketplace allows you to shop, compare and buy plans offered by participating health insurance companies who offer plans in your area. You can apply for a subsidy to help pay your premiums. You can also see if you qualify for Medicare, Medicaid or CHIP through the Marketplace.
