[Please Note: We presented an updated webinar on Special Enrollment Periods and Exemptions on May 7, 2014.] 

In the eight in the “Beyond the Basics” series of webinars titled “Transitions in Coverage: Avoiding Gaps and Penalties,” we take a deep look at how different enrollment periods will work, what happens if a person misses a premium payment, and explore how the ACA’s requirement that people carry minimum essential coverage will work.
