Open enrollment for 2023 coverage will start November 1, 2022 (you can still enroll in 2022 coverage for the remainder of the year if you experience a qualifying life event). You can enroll in a health insurance plan online, over the phone, or in-person. Regardless of the method, if you’re enrolling in a plan through the exchange, you’re going to need to have the following information on hand for each enrollee: Name, address, email address, social security number, birthday, and citizenship status. (Proof of lawful residency status may be required). Payment information that the insurer will be able to use to charge your premiums (this will generally be bank account information, but some insurers will allow automatic payments by credit card). A list of medications taken by anyone who will be covered under the policy. Each insurance plan has its own formulary (covered drug list), so you’ll want to check to see which one will best cover the medications you need. Your doctors’ names and zip codes, so that you can check to make sure they’re in-network with the health plans you’re considering. Household size and income (if you’re planning to apply for premium subsidies or cost-sharing reductions). A wide range of documentation can be used to prove your income, including pay stubs, W2s, your most recent tax return, etc. Coverage details and premium for any employer-sponsored plan that’s available to your household (regardless of whether you’re enrolled in that plan or have declined it). If you want to enroll in a catastrophic plan and you’re 30 or older, you’ll need hardship exemption (note that premium subsidies cannot be used with catastrophic plans, so these are generally only a good idea if you don’t qualify for a premium subsidy, but can meet the requirements for a hardship exemption).
