Special Enrollment Period (SEP) eligibility

Some people may be eligible to enroll in an ACA Marketplace plan outside of the annual open enrollment period (OEP) if they have a qualifying life event. These include things like having or adopting a baby, getting married, turning 26, getting divorced or a change in employment status.

Medicaid renewal

If you’re working with someone who no longer qualifies for Medicaid coverage, you may be able to help them find a new health plan. Losing Medicaid coverage is considered a qualifying life event, which means they may be eligible for a Special Enrollment Period for an ACA Marketplace plan.

Picking an ACA Marketplace plan

Within each of our 4 ACA Marketplace plan types (Essential, Value, Advantage and Copay Focus), plans are organized into categories called metal levels. These metal levels — Bronze, Silver and Gold — determine the cost of care and the amount of coverage. They don’t impact the quality or type of care provided. A wide range of UnitedHealthcare ACA Marketplace plans are available in these 3 metal levels.
