Lake County plans for 2026 came from 9 companies: Ambetter Health, AmeriHealth Caritas Next, AvMed, Cigna Healthcare, Florida Blue, Molina Healthcare, Oscar, UnitedHealthcare, and Wellpoint. Health First offered 2026 plans in Orange County but not in Lake. The 2027 list may be different. It should be posted around November 1, 2026, when open enrollment starts.

You may, depending on your household income for the year. You apply with an honest estimate of that income. If it changes during the year, report the change right away. That way, you are less likely to owe money back at tax time.

That depends on the plan. Each plan picks its own hospitals and doctors, so look up South Lake Hospital in each plan's directory before you enroll. We can look it up with you.

The lists are different, because each county has its own set of plans. For 2026, Lake County had 196 plans from 9 companies, and Orange County's list included Health First, which Lake's did not. Always shop with your home ZIP code.

Some 2026 Lake County Marketplace plans were not HMOs: 14 were PPOs, 27 were EPOs, and 14 were POS plans. Each type has its own rules for seeing doctors outside the network, so read the details. If your tax credit is small or zero, a private plan outside the Marketplace may be another option to compare. Some private plans ask health questions, and approval is not guaranteed.

You can sign up from November 1, 2026, through January 15, 2027. To start coverage January 1, pick a plan by December 15. Outside those dates, you usually need a life event, such as losing other coverage. Our Florida open enrollment guide has the details.
