Nevada Open Enrollment 2027 for People Over the Subsidy Line

Last updated November 3, 2026 · By Frank Caballero, licensed health insurance broker

Short answer

For people earning over the subsidy line in Nevada, Nevada Health Link sets the 2027 open enrollment dates; check its site for this year's deadlines. Above the line, a private, medically underwritten plan is priced on health instead of income, and if approved it can start the first of any month.

What 2027 looks like for you

Nevada's average 2027 rate change is 17.2% to 18.8% (finalized). The details are on the Nevada 2027 premium increase page.

The 2027 subsidy line is 400% of the federal poverty level: $63,840 for one person, $86,560 for two, $109,280 for three and $132,000 for four. One dollar over it and every Marketplace plan in Nevada is full price, at every metal level, with an out-of-pocket cap of $12,000 for one person and $24,000 for a family.

Nevada this year

Nevada Health Link, the state's exchange, carries nine insurers for 2027, and average rates are up a final 17.2% to 18.8%. Nevada Health Link also sets the open enrollment schedule, so go by its dates. If your household earns above 400% of poverty, every one of those plans is full price. In Las Vegas and Henderson, that includes established performers and entertainment producers, casino-industry consultants and real estate brokers. Around Reno and Sparks, it's often engineers and managers who came from California, plus contractors serving the industrial parks. Mining consultants in Elko fit the profile as well.

One thing to do before you choose

If you moved here from California recently, don't assume your old plan habits carry over. Nevada Health Link plans have Nevada networks, and with nine insurers the differences between them are real. Start by listing the Las Vegas or Reno doctors you want to keep. Then compare a few full-price exchange plans with a private plan. The private plan is priced on age, ZIP code and health, approval depends on your health answers, and it's sold outside Nevada Health Link.

Private plan or Marketplace?

Private plan

Healthy and well above the line: priced on age, ZIP code and health instead of earnings. Approval depends on health answers; not an ACA Marketplace plan.

Marketplace

Ongoing care, or income you can bring back under the line: Nevada Health Link must accept you, and below the line the subsidy returns.

Questions

Who sets Nevada's 2027 open enrollment deadline?

Nevada Health Link, Nevada's own exchange. Check its site for this year's dates before you plan around them.

I'm a performer and my income swings between $55,000 and $90,000. Which number do I use?

Use your most realistic estimate for 2027. The single-person line is $63,840, so your range straddles it. If you expect the low end, Marketplace help may apply; at the high end, you'd pay full price. Update Nevada Health Link during the year if things change, and let me price a private plan in case you finish over.

Can I get a private plan in Nevada after open enrollment closes?

Yes. You can apply in any month and, if approved, a private plan can start the first of a month; the insurer can decline based on health answers.
