With recent changes to enrollment periods, there are now more opportunities for individuals to enroll in health coverage, including Medicare. This expansion aims to make it easier for people to get the coverage they need, when they need it.

Extended Special Enrollment Periods

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) has extended special enrollment periods (SEPs) for consumers who experience certain life events, such as losing other health coverage, moving, getting married, or having a baby. This extension allows more flexibility for people to enroll outside the standard enrollment periods.

Who Can Benefit?

These extended SEPs can benefit various groups, including:

  • Newly Uninsured: Those who have recently lost their job or other health coverage.

  • New Residents: Individuals who have moved to a new area with different insurance options.

  • New Families: People who have experienced major life changes such as marriage or the birth of a child.

By taking advantage of these extended SEPs, individuals can avoid gaps in their healthcare coverage and ensure continuous access to necessary medical services.

How to Enroll

If you are eligible for an SEP, you can enroll in a health plan outside of the regular enrollment period.

Why It's Important
