CMS to launch monthly special enrollment period beginning in late March

CMS' new monthly special enrollment period for ACA marketplaces is slated to kick off in late March and continue monthly, according to the American Hospital Association. 

The special enrollment period was announced in a September 2021 final rule. It applies to people whose income is below 150 percent of the federal poverty and who do not qualify for Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program. 

The move aims to provide low-income consumers with increased access to affordable plans. Those qualifying for the special enrollment period are eligible for Advance Payments of Premium Tax Credits, meaning they have access to plans with low or no premiums.
