How To Avoid Health Insurance Coverage Gaps When Moving Out Of State

The unfortunate fact about health insurance companies is that many do not have a national network. This means if you visit another state, you most likely will have emergency coverage only. If you move out of state, you’ll need to get coverage in your new state and need to report your move within 30 days and enroll into a plan within 60 days, but each state rules may vary. When you move, if you have insurance now, it would be considered a qualifying life event. You’ll want to investigate your options as soon as possible and make sure you ask if the plans you are looking at are ACA Qualified Health Plans.
