Idaho was the first state to build and run its own ACA exchange, Your Health Idaho, and it uses an earlier open-enrollment deadline of December 15 — so if you assume the federal mid-January cutoff applies, you can miss it. Idaho expanded Medicaid by ballot measure, effective 2020, routing lower-income adults to no-cost coverage with subsidies above that line; about 117,000 residents enrolled for 2026.
Idaho has one of the more crowded small-state carrier fields — Select Health, PacificSource, Blue Cross of Idaho, Regence, Mountain Health CO-OP, Molina, Moda, and St. Luke's Health Plan. The Boise area is the main market, split between St. Luke's and Saint Alphonsus; Idaho Falls runs on Eastern Idaho Regional; and Coeur d'Alene is a Kootenai Health market.
We're licensed in Idaho and quote its carriers directly. Below is how coverage works here — including that earlier deadline — plus the metros and situations we help with most.
Idaho runs its own exchange, Your Health Idaho, and uses an earlier December 15 enrollment deadline — so residents enroll through the state, and the calendar differs from the federal one.
