ACA individual & family plan enrollment details

Can I get coverage after Open Enrollment?

Health care answers in 60 seconds.

 

When can you change your health insurance?

 

Typically, you sign up for a new health plan during open enrollment.

 

But you may also change your plan under special circumstances called qualifying life events.

 

Here are common events...

 

Loss of insurance.

 

If you lose coverage because you’ve aged out of your parents’ plan, lost your job, or switched your job, you qualify.

 

Change in household.

 

If you get married, have a baby, or when the number of people in your family changes, you qualify.

 

Health care question answered.

Can I get coverage after Open Enrollment?

Yes! You may qualify for a Special Enrollment Period if you’ve had a big life change or one coming up. Some examples include losing your health plan or getting married. Or turning 26, when you can’t be on your parent’s health plan anymore.*  These qualifying life events — and others — let you sign up for a health plan outside the ACA Open Enrollment Period.

 

At risk of losing Medicaid coverage? We’re here to help.

You may qualify for a no or low-cost Aetna CVS Health™ plan. You may be able to get a subsidy. This can greatly lower your monthly premium or even give you a $0 premium**. Enter your ZIP code to explore plan options.
