Health Coverage For Nevadans
During Exceptional Times
Nevada has faced a lot of challenges this year. If you’ve recently lost your job, or have experienced a Qualifying Life Event (QLE), you can enroll in a health plan through Nevada Health Link even outside the open enrollment period (Nov. 1 – Jan. 15). Currently, enrolled members who have experienced life changes can make changes to their health insurance or choose a new plan. This is known as a Special Enrollment period (SEP).
