Don’t Forget the Deadline for Health Insurance Enrollment

By Strachota Insurance Inc January 6, 2017 Health Insurance

If you enroll in a health insurance plan by January 15, your coverage will begin on February 1 (assuming you make your binder payment by January 27).

If you wait until January 16, or as late as January 31, your coverage will begin on March 1.

If you forget to select a health insurance policy by January 31, you will miss your window of opportunity, and Open Enrollment will be closed until November.

As you can see, you have just a few days left, if you want to have a new healthcare plan in place next month. That’s why we urge you to call us, and get started on your application today!

But what about those of you with pending applications, who are second-guessing some part of your decision? If you change your mind about your plan, you can still make changes to your application. Just be sure to submit those changes by January 15. If you wait until after this date to make changes, they won’t take effect until March 1.

In most cases, if you miss the January 31 deadline to apply for health insurance coverage, you won’t be able to enroll in a policy until Open Enrollment begins again this fall. However, if you experience a Qualifying Life Event during the year, you will be eligible for a Special Enrollment Period.

Aside from satisfying the Individual Mand we’ll answer your questions or help you get started with your application.
