When Could People Switch Plans Outside Open Enrollment Periods?
The HHS rule also lays out a number of “triggering events” that would allow people to enroll in or switch their exchange coverage during a “special enrollment period” outside the annual open enrollment period. For example, people who lose job-based insurance, or lose Medicaid coverage because of an increase in income can enroll in an exchange plan. Other triggering events include marriage, divorce, and the birth or adoption of a child.
Generally, people who switch from one exchange plan to another during a special enrollment period would have to remain in the same coverage level (Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum). They could, for example, change from one Bronze plan to another, but they could not jump from a Bronze plan to a Silver plan (or vice versa) until the next annual open enrollment period. This restriction is apparently intended to protect insurers from cases in which people discover that they need an expensive procedure or surgery and switch mid-year to a plan with more comprehensive coverage. But there may be a range of instances when a consumer subject to a special enrollment period should have the ability to change plan levels. Originally Posted by lostincypress
