Can you enroll in health insurance right now?

When big changes happen in life, like if you have or adopt a baby, move, or get married, you may be able to enroll in Marketplace health insurance for the rest of 2017 with a Special Enrollment Period.

Not sure if you qualify?

• Read the full list of life events that may make you eligible.
• Answer a few questions to find out if you may qualify to enroll in or change plans for 2017.
• If you already know you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period, you can create an account for the first time or log in to an existing one.

Note: When you apply, you must confirm the information on your application is true. You may be asked to submit documents to confirm your life change.

What if I don’t qualify?

• You can apply for free or low-cost coverage through Medicaid and CHIP any time, all year. If you qualify, you can enroll immediately.
• If you’re not eligible for 2017 coverage, the Open Enrollment Period for a 2018 plan runs from November 1, 2017 to December 15, 2017.
