Open Enrollment: What You Need to Know
Buying insurance coverage is different compared to other types of services because there are only certain windows of time when you can sign up for a plan. In the United States, open enrollment is the most common time to choose a new insurance plan or change your current coverage.
This window of time happens once a year, so you can be sure you have the best coverage in the New Year. Since open enrollment is limited to a few weeks, mark your calendar every year to take advantage of this opportunity. Missing open enrollment means that you might need to wait an entire year before you will have the opportunity to make changes again.
Can I Change My Health Insurance During Other Times of the Year?
Sometimes, life circumstances open a limited window when you can also make changes to your health insurance plan. For example, you might qualify for a Special Enrollment Period if you have a major life event, such as getting married, having a baby, or losing coverage for other reasons like going through a divorce or the death of a spouse.
Life Circumstances Change: Make Sure You Have the Right Insurance Coverage
Because you have health insurance, don’t assume your current coverage is always the best solution for you and your family. It’s common for healthcare needs to change, which is why it’s a good idea to re-evaluate your insurance plan each year. Open enrollment is a great reminder to look at your payments, deductibles, and coverage to determine the necessary coverage for your unique needs.
