Health Insurance Enrollment
Continued from page 21
employer’s next open enrollment period, which occurs once each year, and you may face tax penalties. Your employer will send you a notice before the open enrollment period about when you need to apply. If you miss your employer’s open enrollment period, you will need to wait for next year’s open enrollment, unless you have a qualifying event before that date.
You have the option to enroll in your employ- er’s coverage, if available, or you can buy cover- age directly from an insurance company. There is also a possibility that if you lose coverage from an employer, you may be able to convert the coverage to an individual policy that you can keep. Consult an insurance agent to see if that is the case.
After a qualifying event, you must enroll in employer coverage within 30 days or get individ- ual coverage within 60 days. If you fail to do so the special opportunity to enroll ends, and you may have to wait until the next open enrollment period.
Ask your employer’s human resource staff, an insurance company or an insurance agent to get more information. You can also visit the Ohio Department of Insurance website at www. insurance.ohio.gov or call its consumer hotline at (800) 686-1526.
