Can I make changes to my plan outside of the open enrollment period?

Asked 6 months ago
Yes, you may be able to make changes to your plan outside of the open enrollment period under certain circumstances. If you experience a qualifying life event such as getting married, having a baby, adopting a child, losing job-based health coverage, or moving to a new area, you may be eligible for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP). During SEP, you can make changes to your plan or enroll in a new one. It is important to note that each SEP has specific timeframes, usually within 60 days of the life event, so prompt action is recommended. Additionally, if you are eligible for Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP), you can apply and enroll in those programs at any time during the year. Please contact our customer service or visit our website for more information on your eligibility and the available options outside of open enrollment.
