Change can be a scary thing, but it doesn’t have to be! Especially when it comes to health insurance. If you recently had a major life change— like getting married, having a baby, or losing health coverage— you are eligible for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP), allowing you to enroll in health insurance outside the yearly Open Enrollment Period. Doesn’t that sound reassuring? With certain life changes you qualify for a SEP and have up to 60 days following the event to enroll in a health insurance plan. If you miss that window, you have to wait until the next Open Enrollment Period to apply.
