Open Enrollment starts November 1, 2015, with applications due by 12/15/15 for a 1/1/16 coverage start date.
The process is pretty simple. Like anything else, it helps to have the right information when you start. We suggest that you bring the following to your appointment to apply for coverage.
- Address for everyone applying for coverage
- Social Security Number for everyone in the household
- Immigration documents (if applicable)
- Income Information for 2014 (pay stubs or other appropriate documents)
- An estimate of your household income for 2015
- Current policy information
- Insurance card for current policy
Also important – think about how 2016 may compare to 2015. Do you think your medical bills/needs will be about the same? Are you anticipating needing more/less care in 2016? Are you having a baby? Getting divorced? What’s on the horizon that could affect your needs? Talking with your agent about your life changes will really help the plan selection process.
If you have questions about your specific situation, please contact us.
