Can I apply for health insurance outside of the open enrollment period?

Yes, you may be eligible to apply for health insurance outside of the open enrollment period through a Special Enrollment Period (SEP). To qualify for an SEP, you must experience certain life events such as getting married, having a baby, losing other health coverage, or moving to a new area. Additionally, you may be eligible if you are currently enrolled in a temporary health insurance plan or if you become eligible for MassHealth or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). It's important to note that you must apply within 60 days of the qualifying event to be eligible for coverage. If you find yourself in one of these situations, you can visit our website or contact our customer service for assistance in applying for health insurance outside of the open enrollment period.
