How To Verify Health Insurance Eligibility? 
In short , you 're eligible as long as you 're a legal US resident/US citizen . Under the Affordable Care Act , you can not be declined for coverage due to any pre-existing medical condition or other health-related issue . You can apply for coverage during the annual enrollment period each year - you can only apply for coverage outside of the annual enrollment period if you qualify for a special enrollment period . It 's always helpful to consult with an experienced health insurance broker if you 're trying to determine when you can apply for coverage . We can also help you pick out the plan that will be the most suitable option for your needs and budget . Please let me know if I can be of further assistance . Thanks very much .
