Beginning March 1, 2026, Medicaid members may switch their health or dental plans at any time for any reason.  Each member may make up to two plan changes within a fixed 12-month period; after two changes, they must remain in their selected plan until a new annual enrollment period begins.

In 2026 this period will run from March 1 through December 31.
