Changing plans after you’re enrolled

Want to change health plans for 2022?
Open Enrollment is over. You can still change 2022 health plans only if you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period due to a life event like losing other coverage, getting married, or having a baby. You usually have 60 days from the life event to enroll in a new plan, but you should report your change as soon as possible.

How to cancel your insurance plan without replacing it
You can cancel your Marketplace plan any time, but there are important things to consider:
- No one plans to get sick or hurt, but bad things happen — even to healthy people. Having medical debt can really limit your options. If you're paying for every medical service yourself, you may make some health care decisions based on money instead of what's best for your health.
