2021 Special Open Enrollment due to the Executive Order

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) determined that the COVID-19 emergency presents exceptional circumstances for consumers in accessing health insurance. Because of this, they’re providing a Special Enrollment Period for individuals and families to apply and enroll in the coverage they need.

From February 15 – May 15, 2021, the 36 states using the Federal Marketplace, and several other states (Mentioned below), will allow consumers to enroll without having to verify a Life Change (also known as a "Qualifying Life Event").

As long as the enrollment is submitted before the end of the month, the coverage effective date will be the 1st of the following month. Speak to licensed agent today today about your situation to assist you sign up for a health plan.
