Coverage Change FAQ
Coverage Change FAQ with source-backed answers and no plan-specific recommendations.
What should I check first after coverage changes?
Start with the event type, coverage end date, destination state if moving, and any notice from an employer, Medicaid agency, or current plan. Those facts decide which official source controls the next step.
Can HealthPlansGuide enroll me?
No. The public v0 site does not enroll users, sell leads, collect contact identity, or route to paid partners. It organizes official links and planning caveats only.
Why does the answer say verify?
Coverage-change timing can depend on exact dates, prior coverage, state routing, notices, and documentation. The FAQ uses verify language because anonymous inputs are not enough for a final eligibility conclusion.
What if my state uses its own Marketplace?
Use the state-routing result before applying. The site cites CMS marketplace routing sources, including the newer CCIIO page when a state has a more recent exchange status than the older CMS map.
What information should I avoid sending here?
Do not send Social Security numbers, medical conditions, prescriptions, doctor lists, plan account numbers, phone numbers, or email addresses. Public v0 works without those details.
