What Happens If You Miss Open Enrollment?

If you miss open enrollment for Pennsylvania health insurance plans, you typically cannot sign up for a plan until the next enrollment period, unless you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP). SEPs are triggered by certain life events, such as losing coverage, getting married, or having a baby. Without enrolling during these times, you may face a coverage gap and potentially face penalties or high medical costs.
