Marketplace Enrollment Periods

I will lose my employer coverage mid-month. Can my Marketplace coverage start the same month when my old coverage is terminated?

Yes, your Marketplace coverage typically begins the first day of the month after you select your QHP. So for example, if you will lose coverage starting on March 17 and choose a plan on February 27, then your coverage will begin on March 1.

While we have made every effort to provide accurate information in these FAQs, people should contact the health insurance Marketplace or Medicaid agency in their state for guidance on their specific circumstances.
