CCHCC’s Navigators would like to let everyone know about the Special Enrollment Period offered by the Illinois Marketplace, known as Get Covered Illinois.

Get Covered Illinois is our state’s Marketplace where qualified Illinois residents can go to get private health insurance plans, often with financial assistance.

Although Open Enrollment for Marketplace plans has closed, many Illinois residents can qualify for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) if they have experienced certain life events, including a) loss of health coverage; b) marriage or divorce; c) pregnancy; d) the birth or adoption of a child; e) income or job changes; and other such changes.

To see a list of qualifying events for a Special Enrollment Period, you can go here:

Sincerely,
