Ambetter from Magnolia Health, a product of Centene Corporation, will offer a range of health insurance plans across Mississippi for the 2026 plan year. The open enrollment period for these plans begins on November 1, 2025, and runs through January 15, 2026. Residents who enroll by December 15, 2025, will have coverage starting January 1, 2026.

Aaron Sisk, Plan President and Chief Executive Officer of Magnolia Health Plan, said: “Having the right health insurance helps you stay prepared, protected and in charge of your health in the face of illness and injuries, which are unpredictable. With Ambetter from Magnolia Health, we’ve built flexible plan options to fit every budget and lifestyle. We have the largest network of providers — including the state’s only children’s hospital. Whether you see your doctor regularly or only as needed, you can feel confident knowing you have the coverage you need.”

The plans provide coverage for essential health benefits such as preventive care, maternity services, pediatric care, mental health support, hospitalizations and prescription drugs. Some options also include dental and vision coverage.

Ambetter Health Solutions is available in select states including Mississippi. This offering supports employers using Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangements (ICHRAs) by providing employees with customizable individual insurance plans that help manage costs while offering flexibility.

Members in Mississippi can access additional services through Ambetter Perks. This program provides discounts on wellness activities and products as well as financial tools and other resources aimed at supporting healthy lifestyles.

Enrollment can be completed online via the Ambetter from Magnolia Health website using computers or mobile devices. The system allows users to browse plans, check eligibility for subsidies and save progress if they cannot complete enrollment immediately.

The My Health Pays program allows members to earn up to $500 in rewards during 2026 by participating in healthy activities such as eating well or staying active. These rewards can be used toward certain healthcare expenses like premiums or copays but exclude pharmacy copays.

Virtual 24/7 Care is included with membership. This service connects members with licensed healthcare providers remotely for common illnesses without leaving home.
