I’ve never had to reapply for health insurance through an employer and completely whiffed on it. It’s fucking stupid. What can I do in the meantime until open enrollment happens again?
Can I get by until next year? I know it’s risky to take a chance but I don’t need anything outside of new contacts and glasses. I wanted to get blood work done as I’m getting older.
Some employers allow for you to enroll after open enrollment but it will kick in in 60/90 days instead of immediately. You should get in touch w the relevant ppl at your job.
Also qualifying life event is another way.
I had something similar happen, though the job dropped the ball on sending me notifications re my enrollment so I was able to get on boarded immediately.
Good luck comrade.
