After you submit your documents
You should get a letter in your HealthCare.gov account within a couple of weeks telling you if we confirmed your Special Enrollment Period.
If your Special Enrollment Period is confirmed:
We’ll tell the insurance plan you picked.
You’ll need to pay your first premium directly to the insurance company — not to the Health Insurance Marketplace®. Your coverage won’t start until you pay your first premium.
Notice:
If confirmation delays kept you from using your plan after the coverage start date, you may have to pay premiums for one or more previous months. When you do, medical expenses you had after the start date may be covered. This is called "retroactive" coverage.
If your Special Enrollment Period can’t be confirmed:
You’ll get a letter in your Marketplace account explaining why.
You can upload different documents to confirm.
