Still need health coverage for 2023?
Open Enrollment is over. You can still get 2023 health insurance 2 ways:
  • If you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period due to a 
     like losing other coverage, getting married, having a baby, or based on estimated household income.
  • If you qualify for Medicaid or the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). You can apply for these programs any time.
If you're a freelancer, an entrepreneur, a part-time worker, or self-employed, you have a few coverage options that work well for independent careers and lifestyles.
  • If you leave a job for any reason and lose job-based insurance: You can buy an insurance plan any time of year, even if it's outside
    . A plan through the Health Insurance Marketplace® can be a lot more affordable than COBRA coverage. You have 60 days from when the insurance ends to enroll. Learn about your options when you lose job-based insurance.
  • If you have income that’s hard to predict: You can apply with your best estimate of what you expect to make for the year. Your savings will be based on that estimate. When your income changes, you can update your application to adjust your coverage and savings. Learn about filling out an application when your income's hard to predict.
  • If you're self-employed or starting a solo business with little income: You'll probably qualify for low-cost insurance or free or low-cost coverage through Medicaid. When your income increases, you can adjust or change your coverage to make sure you're getting only the savings you qualify for.

    • You can pick a "Catastrophic" health plan — a way to protect yourself from worst-case scenarios.
    • One catch: If someone claims you as a tax dependent, you can buy a plan through the Marketplace but won’t qualify for savings based on your income.
