It's that time of year to start looking at healthcare options and pick benefits that work best for you and your family in 2022.

Carrie Kincaid from Priority Health discusses what people should consider when shopping for a health plan during open enrollment.

Kincaid says when shopping for a healthcare plan, it's important to check for subsidies, consider your family’s medical needs, check the network, and predicted healthcare costs in the new year.

Also, consider a plan that fits your lifestyle such as a virtual-first, or one with unique travel benefits.

The final deadline to register for health coverage during open enrollment is January 15, 2022. To avoid any gaps in coverage, make sure to select a health plan by December 15 so you have benefits starting January 1, 2022.
