When does my coverage of benefits begin?
If you sign-up during open enrollment and your first premium payment has been received, your coverage will begin January 1. If you enroll during a special enrollment period, your coverage start date is based on when you choose a plan. However, you cannot use your coverage until you make your first premium payment and your eligibility is confirmed.
Key dates:
