Saving on health insurance can be easy.

Even though health insurance plans offer yearly periods of open enrollment, specific life events may allow you to obtain or change coverage at any time.

Whether it’s a change in household size (including marriage, divorce, a new baby, adopting a child), losing coverage through your employer, moving out of your current coverage area or even gaining citizenship, qualifying events mean you have 60 days to buy health insurance coverage.

With the TruStage Health Insurance Program, you can use GoHealth to find the coverage you need and complete your enrollment within the 60-day window. Call 1-888-492-3446 to get details.

These are just some of the events that could qualify you to buy health insurance outside of the annual open enrollment period:

• Marriage or divorce
• Birth or adoption of a child
• Loss of health coverage from your employer
• Aging off of a parent’s plan
• Moving your residence outside of your plan’s coverage area
• Group coverage discontinued by your employer
• An involuntary loss of an individual policy plan
• COBRA expiration
• Losing eligibility for Medicaid or CHIP
• Gaining citizenship
• Placing a child for adoption
• Leaving incarceration

Call 1-888-492-3446 today and our GoHealth experts can confirm if your event qualifies. They can also check your eligibility for financial assistance and go over your options if you don't have a qualifying event.

Health insurance is typically only available during the open enrollment window established by the Affordable Care Act (ACA).

When you experience a qualifying life event, the special enrollment period is a short window of time for you to sign up for health insurance. From the date of the event, you generally have 60 days in which you can buy health coverage that fits your changing needs.

If you miss the deadline, you may have to wait until the next open enrollment period to get insurance coverage. Don’t wait. Call 1-888-492-3446 to get details.   

When you experience a qualifying life event, you can choose from the same major medical health insurance options that are available from GoHealth during open enrollment.

As a credit union member, you have access to experts and tools to help you understand your options, compare health insurance plans and find the best value. With the TruStage Health Insurance Program and GoHealth, you can make confident decisions and find affordable coverage to match your new life.

Licensed insurance advisors at GoHealth are ready to determine if your event qualifies, simplify the process, offer advice, provide quotes and help you get the right plan for your family. They can even help you determine whether you qualify for various levels of financial assistance and assist with the final calculations.

When you buy coverage during a special enrollment period, the effective date of coverage depends on when you enroll.

If you sign up by the 15th day of a month, coverage generally begins on the first day of the next month. If you sign up after the 15th, coverage begins on the first day of the following month.

GoHealth experts are ready to assist you with answering all your questions.

Don’t miss your chance to get the coverage you need. Once the 60 day window for your qualifying event ends, you will have to wait until the next yearly enrollment period to buy a plan (unless you have another qualifying event).
