After the year-mark of the COVID-19 pandemic, many people in our community are continuing to face economic impacts, including job loss and access to employer-sponsored health benefits.
Individuals who recently experienced a change in life—such as the loss of a job or health insurance or even the birth of a baby—don’t have to wait until the next open enrollment period to find healthcare coverage. Special enrollment allows qualifying individuals to shop and enroll for Sutter Health Plus individual and family plans now. Additionally, Sutter Health Plus considers being uninsured as a qualifying event to enroll in an individual and family plan now through December 31, 2021.
