Aging Off Your Parent’s Health Insurance

May 6, 2019

If you’re approaching 26 year sold, you may find yourself in looking for health insurance.

Soon you’ll be on your own. In some cases, the solution for health insurance comes when your employer provides you with coverage. If this is not the case, then you will have to find your own health plan. We get it, it may seem scary and unaffordable. But it’s not that bad! Here are some coverage options you may have:

1. Health Insurance Through Your Job

If you’re working and your employer offers health insurance, you may become eligible for that health insurance when you lose your current insurance. Losing your parent’s coverage qualifies you for a special enrollment period. You’ll have 30-60 days to sign up. Contact your HR Department to learn the next steps to take.

 2. Medicaid

 Enroll in Affordable Care Act Marketplace. If you’re unemployed or cannot get health insurance through your job, one option is to shop for a plan on your state or federalMarketplace. There are several plans that are available through the ACA Marketplace. If you enroll before losing coverage your plan can start as soon as the first day of the month after you lose coverage. If you enroll after you lose coverage then your plan can start the first day of the month after you pick a plan.

3. Purchase Insurance through a Broker or Agent.

 Brokers and agents can help you compare different health insurance plan option and process your enrollment for free and you don’t have to pay any fees.
