What to do after you enroll
You picked a plan. A few simple steps make sure your coverage starts on time and stays active all year.
1. Pay your first premium
Your coverage doesn't start until your insurance company receives your first payment, sometimes called a binder payment. Pay it by the insurer's due date, even if your bill is small. If your plan is $0, watch for any confirmation steps from the insurer.
2. Watch for your ID card
Your insurer will mail your member ID card and welcome packet. Most also offer a mobile app where you can find a digital ID card right away.
3. Choose a primary care doctor
Some plans ask you to pick one. Either way, schedule your free preventive checkup early in the year.
4. Report changes within 30 days
Tell us if your income, address or household changes. Updating your application keeps your tax credit accurate and helps you avoid owing money at tax time.
5. Keep your Form 1095-A
Early in the year, the Marketplace sends Form 1095-A. You'll need it to file your taxes.
6. Review your plan every fall
Prices, networks and your tax credit can change each year. We'll reach out before Open Enrollment so you don't overpay.
