Insuranceopedia Explains Enrollment Period
Enrollment is limited to a specified period to maintain stability in the health insurance market.
If a person misses the allotted time frame but experiences a life event, such as getting married or having a child, that warrants a change in coverage, they may qualify for special enrollment outside of the standard enrollment period.
