Enrolling in a new health insurance plan can be a painless process with a little preparation beforehand. To get started, you’ll want to determine who in your family needs coverage. Next, make a list of all your preferred doctors that you would like to be in network, as well as any recurring prescriptions that you will need covered. Keep that list handy when you’re ready to start searching for plans.
Depending on your income and household size, you may qualify for money-saving tax credits that will help to reduce your monthly premium. You’ll want to have the following information handy to determine what you qualify for and to complete your enrollment:
- Your social security number (or document ID number if you’re a legal immigrant)
- Information about your current income—either a pay stub, your W-2 tax form, or your most recent tax return
- Details about any other income, such as unemployment checks, child support, veterans payment, alimony, retirement income, etc.
- The number of people in your household—this is the number of people who you’d claim as dependents, whether or not they live with you
If applicable:
- Information about your student loan interest
- Information about your current health coverage, if you have a health plan now
That’s all you’ll need to get going. If you have any questions along the way, our licensed agents are ready to assist you. Just give them a call at (866) 602-8466. Happy shopping!
