Losing Medicaid? AultCare has great options for affordable coverage.

When Can I Purchase Health Insurance?

Losing Medicaid is considered a qualifying life event, and you have up to 60 days to enroll in a plan. Enroll by the end of the month for the first of the following month's effective date.

You must be enrolled by December 15, 2023 for a January 1, 2024 policy effective date. Enrollments from December 16, 2023 to January 15, 2024 will have a policy effective date of February 1, 2024.

Individual Health Insurance can be purchased during the Annual Open Enrollment period (November 1 to January 15). If you have a qualifying life event, you are eligible for a special enrollment period outside of the Annual Open Enrollment. You must sign up within 60 days of the qualifying life event. Qualifying life events are changes in your situation – such as getting married, having a baby, or losing group health coverage (healthcare.gov). Download the Healthcare.gov checklist.

Qualifying life events include:

Losing Medicaid Coverage
Changes in the household (marriage, divorce, new child, death)
Changes in residence
Loss of group health insurance (losing existing coverage or losing eligibility)
Other qualifying events (becoming a U.S. citizen, leaving incarceration, etc.)

Please note, this is a small list of qualifying life event examples. Certain circumstances do not apply. You can learn more or view a full list of qualifying life events here.
