SPECIAL ENROLLMENT PERIODS FOR HEALTH INSURANCE

Understanding Special Enrollment

At Health Trust Financial, we understand that life doesn’t always fit neatly into open enrollment periods. That’s why special enrollment periods (SEPs) are available to help you secure health insurance coverage when you need it most. If you’ve experienced certain life events, you may qualify for a special enrollment period, allowing you to enroll in a health insurance plan outside of the standard open enrollment period.

What is a Special Enrollment Period?

A special enrollment period is a time outside the yearly open enrollment period when you can sign up for health insurance. SEPs are triggered by specific qualifying life events that affect your health insurance needs.

Qualifying Life Events for Special Enrollment

You may be eligible for a special enrollment period if you experience any of the following events:

  • Loss of Health Coverage: Losing existing health insurance due to job loss, expiration of COBRA, or aging out of a parent’s plan.
  • Changes in Household: Marriage, divorce, birth or adoption of a child, or death in the family.
  • Changes in Residence: Moving to a new ZIP code or county, a different state, or to/from a shelter.
  • Other Qualifying Events: Changes in income that affect your eligibility for subsidies, gaining citizenship, or release from incarceration.

He provided everything I needed to know, and made it super easy to get insurance, and it only took a few minutes. Also, I didn't have to worry about getting a ton of phone calls from different agents. My phone number and other contact info was kept confidential.

They answered the phone which was an unusual wonderful surprise for companies nowadays. They were genuinely searching for the best thing for my family, and explaining how the process and plans worked, very clearly. They seemed to actually care and showed kindness and compassion.
Terrie Wright 5.0
He was very knowledgeable and helped me with my insurance questions. He gave me several options and didn't push me to make a decision for coverage. He considered my financial situation and my current coverage. I would highly recommend him to my friends.
Carolene CdeBaca 5.0

I was upset that my large global company gave me COBRA at $1750 a month. I was in shock...I went to Ramsey learned about insurance brokers and called. I cannot tell you how relived I was talking with him and his team. I was able to get affordable insurance and that means everything as a retiree not yet 65. Very grateful!
