See if you can still get or change 2021 health coverage

Outside the yearly Open Enrollment Period, you can get or change coverage only if you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period or for Medicaid or CHIP.

What do you want to do first?

This isn’t an application for health coverage.

  • It’s a quick screener that tells you if you may qualify for a Special Enrollment Period, Medicaid, or CHIP. If you do, you can enroll outside the yearly Open Enrollment Period.
  • We ask for only basic information to quickly tell you if you may qualify. The coverage application itself asks for more details.
  • The only way to know if you qualify for sure is to apply. You can do that any time, even if the results say you don’t appear to qualify.
  • When you apply, you must attest that the information you provide on the application is true, including the facts that qualify you for a Special Enrollment Period. You may be required to provide documents that prove your eligibility to enroll based on the life event you attest to experiencing.
