Open Enrollment

Open Enrollment is the ONLY time to enroll in a plan, change plans or apply for cost assistance for the ENTIRE year. The exception to this is Medicaid/HIP; eligible patients are able to enroll in these programs year-round. 

If you are already enrolled, it is important to check your coverage at this time. Not all plans auto-renew, and it may be necessary to renew or change your coverage.

​

Special Enrollment

Qualifying events may allow you to enroll outside of Open Enrollment. These events include:

• Having a child

• Losing Health Insurance

• Marriage/Divorce

• Moving to a New State

If you qualify, you have a 60-day period to enroll.

​

• Medicare Part A or C

• Medicaid

• CHIP

• Any Job-Based Coverage

• COBRA

Some other kinds of coverage qualify. Please ask your Navigator for more information.
