Potential HealthCare.gov Downtime

Maintenance outages are regularly scheduled on HealthCare.gov every year during Open Enrollment, and this year is no different. Mark your calendar for scheduled HealthCare.gov downtime during Open Enrollment to help you plan your customer appointment schedules!


HealthCare.gov will potentially be down for maintenance and updates on:

  • Wednesday, November 1 overnight – exact time to be determined (Note: Healthcare.gov will function normally during business hours.)
  • Sundays from 12:00 AM to 12:00 PM Eastern Time (ET) (except for December 10)


Please note that planned downtime may not be fully used and that any downtime outside of the listed times is unplanned and will be treated as critical until resolved. Before each weekend maintenance window, the Marketplace will communicate a better estimate of the Sunday downtime so you can plan accordingly.

If you have questions, please reach out to the Agent/Broker Email Help Desk Monday through Friday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM ET at FFMProducer-AssisterHelpDesk@cms.hhs.gov.
