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.

Maybe you no longer have health care coverage because you’ve lost your job. Or maybe you’re getting married or having a baby or moving to a new state. These qualifying life events — and others — allow you to sign up for a health plan outside the Open Enrollment Period.
