What if I miss a If you miss a Marketplace deadline to submit documents or enroll in a plan, you may not be able to
deadline? enroll in a Marketplace plan until the next Open Enrollment Period (unless you qualify for a Special
Enrollment Period). You may also lose any financial help you may qualify for.
Open Enrollment Open Enrollment is the yearly period when people can enroll in a Marketplace plan. Outside of
Open Enrollment, you may still be able to enroll in a Marketplace plan if you qualify for a Special
Enrollment Period.
Special Enrollment A Special Enrollment Period means you can enroll in Marketplace health coverage outside of the
Period yearly Open Enrollment period. You may qualify for a Special Enrollment Period if you’ve had
certain life changes, like losing health coverage, moving, getting married, having a baby, or
adopting a child. You may also qualify if you get a new offer from an employer for help paying for
health coverage. You may need to submit documents to confirm your eligibility for some Special
Enrollment Periods.
To see if you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period, you can report a life change on your
application. If you qualify, your plan choices may be limited. You generally have up to 60 days
following the change you’re reporting to enroll in a plan.
Copayments, Copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles are the money you pay toward the cost of your health
coinsurance & care.
deductibles • Copayment: an amount you may pay each time you get a service, like going to the doctor or
getting a prescription. It’s usually a set dollar amount, like $20.
• Coinsurance: your share of the costs of a covered health service. Coinsurance is calculated
as a percent of the allowed amount for the service.
• Deductible: the amount of money you must spend each year on health care before your
plan starts paying for most services. After you pay your deductible, you may still have to pay
copayments or coinsurance when you get services.
Qualifying for Qualifying for “cost-sharing reductions” means you qualify for a discount that lowers the amount
cost-sharing you have to pay for deductibles, copayments, and coinsurance. You must enroll in a plan in the
reductions Silver category to get the extra savings. Choosing a Silver Marketplace plan with extra savings may
save you thousands of dollars if you have a lot of medical expenses.
If you’re a member of a federally recognized American Indian tribe or Alaska Native Corporation,
you can get extra savings when you enroll in any Marketplace plan. You’ll get these savings as long
as everyone enrolling with you is also a member of a federally recognized tribe.
How do I qualify for You qualify to enroll in a plan with lower copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles based on:
cost-sharing • The household income amount you expect to report on your federal tax return
reductions? • Your eligibility for the premium tax credit
• The number of people in your household (the taxpayer and dependents listed on your
federal income tax return)
• Membership in a federally recognized tribe
Bronze, Silver, Gold Health plans sold in the Marketplace are divided into 4 main health plan categories: Bronze, Silver,
& Platinum Gold and Platinum. Categories range from Bronze plans with lower premiums and higher out-of-
plan categories pocket costs to Platinum plans with higher premiums and lower out-of-pocket costs. All plans
cover all essential health benefits.
1
Choosing a plan During Open Enrollment, you can choose a plan from any category. If you qualify for a Special
category Enrollment Period, you’ll see all the plan categories available to you.
• If you’re already enrolled in a Marketplace plan, your choices may be limited. For example, if
you’re enrolled in a Gold plan and experience a move that qualifies you for a Special
Enrollment Period, you’ll generally be able to choose plans from the Gold category only.
• You can choose a Silver plan if you’re newly eligible for cost-sharing reductions. Silver plans
may also be available if you’re eligible for the premium tax credit and can enroll through a
Special Enrollment Period based on estimated income.
• If you’re enrolled in a Silver plan with cost-sharing reductions and you lose those cost-
sharing reductions, you can enroll in a Bronze, Silver or Gold plan.
Catastrophic plans A Catastrophic plan has lower monthly premiums and high deductibles. Catastrophic plans may be
an affordable way to protect yourself from worst-case scenarios, like getting seriously sick or
injured, but you pay most routine medical expenses yourself. People under 30 and people with
hardship exemptions can buy a Catastrophic plan through the Marketplace. These plans aren’t
eligible for the premium tax credit.
Plan groupings If you apply for health coverage for more than one person in your household, the Marketplace will
group your household members for plan enrollment. You’ll see these groupings when you continue
to enrollment, and you can change them. You may be able to choose one plan for everyone, a
separate plan for each person, or some other grouping.
Adding family If you gain a new family member due to marriage, birth, adoption, foster care, or court order, you
members to your may be able to add the new family member to your current plan or enroll them in any category.
plan If your plan’s rules don’t allow you to add new members as part of your Marketplace updates, you
can enroll together in a different plan in the same category. If no other plans are available in your
current plan category, your family can enroll together in a “neighboring” category. For example, if
you’re currently enrolled in a Gold plan, you can generally enroll together in a new one from the
Silver or Platinum categories.
You’ll automatically see all the plans available to you when you enroll. However, if you want to
enroll your new dependent in their own plan of any category, you may need to “re-group” your
household members when you continue to enrollment to see if other categories become available,
or to enroll in a plan that’s separate from your family group.
Coverage for Lawfully present immigrants can apply for Marketplace coverage, even if they don’t qualify for full
immigrant families Medicaid benefits or for CHIP because of immigration status. Lawfully present immigrants may still
be eligible to enroll in Marketplace coverage and get help with costs.
Individuals who aren’t lawfully present in the U.S. can apply for Marketplace coverage on behalf of
family members who may be eligible, like their lawfully present children or spouse. Individuals who
aren’t lawfully present, or who don’t meet requirements for full Medicaid benefits, may be eligible
for limited Medicaid coverage for emergency medical treatment, or for pregnancy-related CHIP.
Applying in a You can’t enroll in a Marketplace plan in a state that’s different from where you live. Return to
different state your application to check that your address is correct and in the state where you want coverage. If
someone in your household needs coverage in a different state, they need to start a new
application that’s separate from yours. For questions about Medicaid and CHIP eligibility, contact
the Medicaid or CHIP agency listed on your notice. You may need to apply for Medicaid or CHIP in
another state.

Changes can affect If anything you told us on your Marketplace application changes, you should report the change as
your costs & soon as possible. Report changes like these:
eligibility • A move.
• Household income changes, especially if your household income will be different than you
estimated on your application.
• Household size changes, like if someone in your household marries or divorces, becomes
pregnant, or has a child; or your child moves out or won’t be claimed as a dependent.
• A change in how you’ll file your federal income tax return for the year you’re getting
Marketplace coverage, like if you plan to claim new dependents.
• Changes in immigration status.
• Becoming qualified for other health coverage, like through a job or Medicare.
• Getting an offer of help from a job to pay for health care costs with a Health Reimbursement
Arrangement (HRA). This may also be called an individual coverage HRA or a Qualified Small
Employer HRA (QSEHRA).
Visit HealthCare.gov/reporting-changes for a full list of changes to report. If you get advance
payments of the premium tax credit and you don’t report a change that may affect your eligibility,
you may have to pay back some or all of your premium tax credit when you file your taxes, or you
may not get all the financial help you qualify for.
Need help reporting If somebody helped you fill out your application (like an agent, broker, Navigator or Certified
changes? Application Counselor), contact them for help reporting changes or uploading required documents.
Health Check the notice you get from your employer about the help they offer paying for health coverage,
Reimbursement because your deadlines and coverage start dates might be different. For more information, visit
Arrangements (HRAs) HealthCare.gov/job-based-help.
If your employer offers an “individual coverage HRA”
You can’t use both the premium tax credit and an individual coverage HRA at the same time.
People offered an individual coverage HRA qualify for the tax credit only if the employer offer
doesn’t meet minimum affordability standards and the person opts out of the individual coverage
HRA.
If your Eligibility Notice says you’re NOT eligible for a premium tax credit, it’s a good idea to accept
the individual coverage HRA offer from your employer. If your Eligibility Notice says you ARE eligible
for a premium tax credit, you’ll need to opt out of the individual coverage HRA if you want to use
the tax credit instead.
You’ll need to let your employer know if you enroll in a Marketplace plan, and if you plan to opt out
of the individual coverage HRA. You’ll need to update your Marketplace application with HRA
information each plan year.
If you have a Qualified Small Employer HRA (QSEHRA)
Visit HealthCare.gov/QSEHRA to see how much tax credit you should consider using. People with a
QSEHRA should plan to use their QSEHRA to help pay for health coverage during the year. However,
the Marketplace doesn’t account for QSEHRA help when calculating tax credit eligibility. For this
reason, people with a QSEHRA may not want to use the full amount of tax credit shown in their
Eligibility Notice, or they may have to pay back some of this credit when they file taxes.
The IRS will determine final tax credit eligibility at tax time based on how much QSEHRA the
employer offered, even if the person didn’t use the QSEHRA.

How was my tax Your premium tax credit amount is based on these factors:
credit calculated? • The number of people in your household. This includes the person who files taxes, their
spouse, and any dependents claimed on the tax return.
• How much income your household expects to report on your federal income tax return for
