Losing Other Coverage (SEP)
If you lose job-based insurance, age out of a parent's plan (turning 26), or lose Medicaid, you have 60 days to enroll in a Marketplace plan.
Life Events (SEP)
Getting married, having a baby, adopting a child, or permanently moving to a new ZIP code triggers a 60-day Special Enrollment Period.
Marketplace FAQs
Clear answers to help you navigate your healthcare options.
Can I be denied for a pre-existing condition?
No. Under the Affordable Care Act, insurance companies cannot refuse to cover you or charge you more because you have a pre-existing condition (like asthma, diabetes, or cancer). Pregnancy is also fully covered.
How do Premium Tax Credits (Subsidies) work?
If your household income falls within a certain range (typically 100% to 400% of the Federal Poverty Level), the government provides a tax credit that acts as a discount on your monthly insurance bill. You can choose to have it applied in advance every month so you pay less out of pocket.
Do I have to use Healthcare.gov?
Depending on your state, you will either use the federal exchange (Healthcare.gov) or your state's specific marketplace. Our agents can help navigate the exact platform required for your zip code and ensure you receive all the subsidies you are entitled to.
