Open Enrollment Quickstart Guide

Don’t let the annual open enrollment period pass you by without reviewing your health insurance coverage.
- Carriers may be offering a new policy or have made changes to their policies, which means you could get more coverage for the same cost.
- Your health insurance needs may have changed over the last year, and you may need more comprehensive coverage – or even less.
- Ensure you’re not overpaying for health insurance.

Open Enrollment Facts
During open enrollment, you can:
- Apply for the first time.
- Switch to a new plan.
- Renew your plan. (This happens automatically, so be sure to assess if your existing plan meets your needs. If it doesn’t, you can switch plans.)
Special Enrollment
If you experience a qualifying life event such as losing your job, getting married or divorced, or giving birth, you can purchase a new health insurance plan anytime.
Financial Help
Find out if you qualify for financial assistance in the form of health insurance tax credits, which is the amount of money you can subtract on taxes owed to the federal government. An expert can help you figure out if you qualify for a tax credit based on your household income and family size.
Sign up for health insurance during open enrollment if you:
- Don’t have employer-provided insurance or have access to a plan through your spouse’s employer.
- Don’t hold coverage through the government (such as Medicaid).
- Are over 26 and are no longer covered by your parent’s policy.
- Need a different network of providers.
