Hello, Insurance Mom family –
Phew!
Open Enrollment for individual health insurance ended 1/31/16. The Insurance Mom and her Helper Elves have been very busy taking care of everyone, and now we’ve got more time to talk about insurance-y stuff through our fabulous blog posts.
Open Enrollment is the time when anyone can get individual health insurance or make changes to their individual health insurance.
From now until January of 2017, you are locked into whatever individual insurance plan you have. There are only a few exceptions to the rule … called Qualifying Life Events. Like loss of employer coverage, marriage, divorce, relocation to a new state, etc.
Shocked to find that out? You’re not alone. Uninsured? Snap! The Insurance Mom has a solution for you! Let’s talk ASAP so you don’t go broke paying for that unexpected (and expensive) medical thing… and it’s always unexpected and expensive!
