Your health coverage options

You may qualify for a Special Enrollment Period to get coverage or change plans if:

Your income falls within a certain range
You had a qualifying life event, like losing health coverage, getting married, having or adopting a baby, or moving

If eligible, you can enroll in Marketplace coverage for the rest of the year outside the annual Open Enrollment Period.

You can also apply for health coverage through Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) any time if you’re eligible.

These free or low-cost health programs cover hospital stays, doctor services, prescription drugs, and more for children and qualifying adults.
