If you missed open enrollment, don’t panic—you might still be able to get coverage through a Special Enrollment Period (SEP). SEPs are triggered by certain life events, like:
➡️ Getting married
➡️ Having a baby or adopting a child
➡️ Losing other health coverage (e.g., from a job)
➡️ Moving to a new area
➡️ Gaining citizenship

If you qualify, you usually have 60 days from the event to enroll. Not sure if you’re eligible? We’ve got you covered with a step-by-step guide to help you apply and find the right plan.
Don’t let missing the deadline keep you uninsured— give us a call to explore your options today!
