Heads' up, courtesy of the CMS in email this morning:
"If your clients do not update their Marketplace application and enroll in a plan November 1-December 15, they may be automatically enrolled in a 2019 plan."
If you're okay with that, then no need to take action. On the other hand, if you'd like to see what's "new and improved" out on the market [Spoiler Alert: pretty much zilch], then starting tomorrow you can get a quote for a new plan, preferably through the services of a local, professional, independent agent.
Oh, and if you don't, and you'd like to keep your plan as-is? Well, that may not be possible:
"Individuals currently enrolled in plans through issuers that will not be participating in the Marketplace for 2019. These consumers will be matched with an alternate plan from a different issuer."
Seems like there was some kind of explicit promise made, back in the day.
Oh, yeah.
