Stay Covered Even When
Life Happens
Nevadans who experience a Qualifying Life Event (QLE) can newly enroll in a health plan through Nevada Health Link even outside the open enrollment period (Nov. 1 – Dec. 15). Currently, enrolled members who experience life changes can make changes to their health insurance or choose a new plan. This is known as a Special Enrollment period (SEP).
What are the Qualifying Life Events for a Special Enrollment Period?
Getting Married or Divorced
Moving
Change in Income or Job Change
Birth or Adoption
Loss of Health Coverage
(Employer COBRA, Medicaid, Medicare)
Turning 26
Gaining U.S. Legal Status
Getting Married or Divorced
Tying the knot? A change in marital status will qualify you for an SEP. However, a divorce or loss of a family member without any resulting change in coverage would not qualify you for an SEP.
