Life Happens Outside of Open Enrollment

Special Enrollment Periods available through Oct. 31 for qualifying life events.

The Health Insurance Marketplace (or Exchange) is for people who don’t have coverage through a job, Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP), or another source that provides qualifying health coverage.

Cover Kansas Navigators are trained, unbiased individuals that can help you compare health insurance plans, assist you with the online application process, and provide answers to your Marketplace questions year-round.

As a reminder, you can enroll in the Marketplace without assistance. Navigator assistance is a free service provided by Cover Kansas.
