SPECIAL ENROLLMENT EXCEPTIONS

Special Enrollment Period (SEP) is a time outside the yearly Open Enrollment Period when you can sign up for health insurance. You qualify for a Special Enrollment Period if you’ve had certain life events, including:

LOSS OF HEALTH COVERAGE

MOVING

GETTING MARRIED

HAVING A BABY

ADOPTING A BABY

If you qualify for an SEP, you usually have up to 60 days following the event to enroll in a plan. If you miss that window, you have to wait until the next Open Enrollment Period to apply.  For more information and specifics and to see if you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period, click on the link below.
