What new regulations affect coverage in 2022?

New regulations allow people with low incomes to enroll in the marketplace at any time during the year, instead of having to wait for the open enrollment period or needing to qualify for a special enrollment period. It’s important to note that people who are eligible for Medicaid/CHIP can enroll at any time during the year as well.

These new regulations also expanded the duties of navigators to include providing post-enrollment support by helping people resolve data matching issues and file appeals, as well as educating people about how to use their health coverage.
