Did you miss your chance to sign up for health insurance during open enrollment? Or did you experience a major life event recently, like a marriage, pregnancy, moving, or divorce? If so, you might qualify for health insurance through a Special Enrollment Period.

What Is Special Enrollment Period?

The Special Enrollment Period (SEP) allows you to enroll in a health insurance plan outside the traditional open enrollment window. To qualify, you must have experienced a qualifying life event or meet certain income requirements.

What Are the Qualifying Life Events for Special Enrollment?

Here are some life events that could make you eligible to sign up for health insurance during the Special Enrollment Period:

• Losing health coverage
• Moving to a new address
• Getting married
• Having a baby or adopting a child

If you qualify for SEP, you’ll typically have a 60-day window before and after the event to enroll in a health insurance plan.

Our experienced health insurance agents are here to help those in South Carolina navigate the Special Enrollment Period and find the right coverage for their needs.

As always, if you have any questions about health insurance or Medicare, we have agents at every corner in South Carolina that are prepared to help you.
