If you're moving, your address may not be the only thing changing. You may be able to change your health care coverage. That's because moving is a qualifying event.
You may qualify for special enrollment if you have had at least one day of health care coverage during the 60 days before your move and are:
- Moving out of state, or
- Moving to an area within your state, but your health insurance plan or network is not available
If either of these qualifying events apply to you, you have 60 days to change or enroll in a new health plan after moving.
