Qualifying Life Event in Health Insurance

LAS VEGAS - Nov. 22, 2024 - PRLog -- Enrolling in a health insurance plan can be a daunting task, and if you aren't aware of deadlines and "Open Enrollment" guidelines, you may have missed your chance altogether. If you missed Open Enrollment or find yourself in need of health insurance outside of the Open Enrollment period, it doesn't always mean you have to be uninsured for the entire year.

Before worrying too much, you may want to see if you could still be eligible for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP). The special enrollment period is always within 60 days of a Qualifying Life Event (QLE). If you've experienced a Qualifying Life Event within the last 60 days, it triggers a Special Enrollment Period, and you may be able to sign up for (or make changes to) health insurance outside of the Open Enrollment period. Understanding which situations are considered qualifying life events will help you make smart decisions regarding your coverage.

Why Do I Need a Special Enrollment Period?
If you lose your health insurance coverage outside of the open enrollment period, you could risk a gap in your coverage. Fortunately, special enrollment periods allow you to sign up for a new policy without having to wait until the following "open enrollment" period to begin.

When Can I Make Changes to My Health Insurance Plan?
Open Enrollment in Nevada is from November 1st to January 15th each year. If it is not "Open Enrollment" (the one time each year you can buy health insurance or make changes to your existing health plan), you'll most likely need a "Life Event" to get coverage.
