Nevada Health Link’s navigators and assisters will be on hand at these events to offer guidance and answer questions regarding the enrollment process.

Previewing Health Plans
Additionally, Nevadans can begin previewing health insurance plans and pricing for the 2026 Plan Year starting October 1, 2025, by visiting NevadaHealthLink.com. This resource serves as the official marketplace for qualified, affordable health plans in Nevada, and is managed by the Silver State Health Insurance Exchange.
Individuals looking for personalized assistance can schedule appointments with certified brokers, agents, or navigators using the “Find Local Assistance” tool on the website or by calling 1-800-547-2927. For those eligible for federal tax credits, over 160 health plan options are available through this marketplace.
Importance of Open Enrollment
The Open Enrollment Period is crucial for those seeking health coverage, as it provides a designated time when individuals can enroll or make changes to their health insurance plans. After this period concludes, individuals can only enroll in health insurance plans if they experience qualifying life events that allow for a Special Enrollment Period.
Rosa Alejandre, the Navigator Program Manager at Nevada Health Link, has highlighted the organization’s commitment to ensuring that Nevadans have access to affordable, quality health care. The upcoming community events are expected to greatly aid in this mission by directly connecting residents with the information and support they need to secure health insurance coverage.
As the October events approach, everyone is encouraged to take advantage of the resources and assistance available to them, ensuring that they can access the health care options best suited to their needs.
