There are still opportunities to enroll in a health plan!

A special enrollment period (SEP) is now required in order to enroll in or change a qualified heath plan. The steps for enrollment differ depending on a consumer’s situation. Prior to assisting consumers with this process, it is important to review the SEP process which can be found on Assister Central in the Helping Consumers section under /assister-central/helping-consumers/sep/index.jspSpecial Enrollment Period.

Tips and things to remember:

• Public program eligible recipients can enroll at any time.
• Remind consumers to report all application changes as they could change the consumer’s eligibility for financial assistance.
• See /new-customers/enrollment-deadlines/special-enrollment/sep-le/index.jspQualifying Life Events in the Special Enrollment Period (SEP) section on MNsure.org for questions about what kinds of life events may provide eligibility for a SEP.
• To determine whether a consumer’s situation qualifies for a SEP, a full application must be completed, or a change reported and processed on an existing application which after processing, deems them eligible for a SEP.
• Most SEPs require verification documents that can be uploaded through MNsure.org.
