Why do we have an open enrollment period?
The Open Enrollment Period was put into place to discourage adverse selection – which happens when sick people sign up for health insurance and healthy people don’t. It greatly skews the amount of risk a health plan takes when insuring customers.
The open enrollment period is to prevent skewed risk.
What are the exceptions to open enrollment?
Unless you experience a qualifying life event, you will have to enroll for health insurance during the open enrollment period.
Some qualifying life events that will qualify you for a special enrollment period are loss of coverage through an employer, loss of coverage through a covered employee, and major family changes.
