Your Health Insurance Toolkit

Whether you are signing up for Health Insurance for the first time or changing to a new plan, it's important to do your research and choose a plan that is right for you as not all Medicare Advantage plans are created equal and plans change every year.  

  • When Can I Enroll in Health Insurance?

    You can enroll for health insurance during the Health Exchange Open Enrollment period or during your employer's open enrollment. Outside of open enrollment, you can apply for insurance during a Special Enrollment Period if you have experienced a qualifying life event. You can also apply for free or low-cost coverage through Medicaid any time of year.

  • When is Open Enrollment?

    The Health Exchange Open Enrollment period is Nov. 1 - Jan. 15, 2025

    Open enrollment periods through employers differ. Check with your employer for up-to-date details on your company's open enrollment

  • What is a Special Enrollment Period?

    A time outside the yearly open enrollment when you can sign up for health insurance. You qualify for a Special Enrollment Period if you have had certain life events, including losing health coverage, moving, getting married, having a baby, or adopting a child.

  • Who is eligible for Medicaid?

    Medicaid provides health coverage for some low-income people, families, and children, pregnant women, the elderly, and people with disabilities. Visit your state's Medicaid website for more information.

  • What do I do if I lose my Insurance?

    If you lose health insurance coverage, there are options to get you back on track. You have the opportunity to select from three main options for health insurance coverage: Affordable Care Act Plan, COBRA, or FL Medicaid Managed Care plan.
