Moving to a new state? You’ll need a new health plan

Published on May 24, 2018

When you move to a new state, you can’t keep a health insurance plan from your old state. To make sure you stay covered, report your move to the Marketplace as soon as possible. This way you can enroll in a new plan and avoid paying for coverage you won’t be able to use in your new state.

How to report a move to a new state

When you move to a new state, your coverage options will change. You may no longer be eligible for your current plan.
New plans, prices, and savings may be available to you.
To get coverage in your new state, you’ll need to start a new Marketplace application or apply through your new state’s website (if your new state runs its own Marketplace).
Get screen-by-screen uploading directions, with pictures (PDF), or follow these steps.

Move within the same state?

If you move within the same state, your coverage options and savings probably won’t change based only on your new address.
You can report the move by following these instructions.
