New Event
There is a caveat that if a life-changing or qualifying event has happened to you, then you may be eligible and qualify to purchase insurance. Again, your best options are to call for clarification, but some qualifiers can be marriage, death, and or separation from employment. The terms are interchangeable, Life Event and or Qualifying Event, and there is a lot of rules but find out if your situation may be covered, give us a call.
Job Status/Income
If you get separated from your employment that provides health insurance, look into COBRA coverage. COBRA is a type of short term insurance that can help you stay covered until the next time buying health insurance is available. Don’t balk right away about the upfront costs. Call MIM to discuss if it is the right move for you or if there is another available option.
You can also always check and try for Medicaid, and see if you qualify based on income. Discuss which option can help keep you covered until open enrollment 2020.

The short term plans are starting to become more affordable and can still help save you money in case you were to have a large medical event.
