I’ve had a major change in my life

Starting a new job, getting married, and having a baby are examples of qualifying events, which mean you can change your health insurance plan even though it’s not currently open enrollment.


  Update My Plan


Other changes don’t count as qualifying events, but they still mean a big change in your life. Maybe you’ve recently been diagnosed with a chronic condition, or you just moved in with a new partner. We have lots of advice on how to make the best use of your insurance plan during these big changes. Start planning ahead now.

Not sure if you’ve had a qualifying event? There are four types:

  • Loss of health coverage
  • Changes in household
  • Changes in residence
  • Other qualifying events
