Moving to a new home — whether it’s across the country or just across the county line — could also mean you need to move to a different health plan.
Is Moving a Qualifying Event for Health Insurance?
Moving out of your current health plan’s service area is considered a qualifying life event, and you may be eligible for a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to enroll in or change your health insurance plan. Other qualifying life events include:
- Getting married
- Giving birth
- Adopting a child
- Losing your job

In addition, you might even qualify for financial assistance: Nearly 9 out of 10 members enrolled through pennie.com, the state-based health insurance exchange for Pennsylvania, save money on health insurance. Pennie.com is the only place Pennsylvanians can go to apply for tax credits to help lower the costs of their health plans.
