Moving Out of State is a Qualifying Life Event
The unfortunate fact about health insurance companies is that many do not have a national network. This means if you visit another state, you will more than likely 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. This move would be considered a qualifying life event to your current health care provider. 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.
Enroll Before Time Runs Out
Once you move to a new state and establish a new address, you’ll have 60 days to obtain health insurance. If you miss this period, you could have a substantial gap in your health insurance coverage and be unable to get coverage until the following January by applying during “Open Enrollment” (Nov 1st through Jan 15th). You would either need to experience another qualifying life event (marriage, birth of baby, etc.) or wait until the open enrollment period. It’s important to take action and pay attention while choosing a health insurance plan. There is a lot to process in a short amount of time. Speaking with a health insurance agent to assist you through the confusing maze of choosing a health insurance plan would be greatly beneficial.
Proof of Residency in Health Insurance
Before you can obtain new health insurance coverage in Nevada, you’ll have to prove your qualifying life event. Therefore, if you lost your previous coverage because you moved to Nevada, you’ll have to prove that by showing you established a residence in Nevada, along with proof you had coverage in your prior state. The most common way to prove your residency is with a utility bill from your old address along with a utility bill with your new Nevada address. You can also use lease documents or a Nevada driver’s license with your new address, along with proof of health insurance from the state in which you moved from.
