SPECIAL ENROLLMENT
Outside of Open Enrollment, purchasing health insurance through Your Health Idaho is possible if you experience a Qualifying Life Event like losing coverage, moving, or having a baby, and qualify for Special Enrollment Period. A Special Enrollment Period allows Idahoans to enroll in coverage anytime during the year. If you are already enrolled with Your Health Idaho, a Special Enrollment Period would enable you to make changes to your existing insurance plan.
If you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period, you have 60 days from the date of your Qualifying Life Event to complete the following:
-
- Contact and report your Qualifying Life Event to Your Health Idaho
- Provide the required documentation
- Select and enroll in a plan OR make changes to your current plan
