At HealthChoice Illinois, we understand how important it is to stay healthy. That's why we prioritize helping you renew your coverage annually to keep your benefits and services. Open enrollment takes place every year from November 1 to December 15, and it's essential to renew your Medicaid coverage annually. This annual renewal is also known as “redetermination.” When it comes to health insurance, most companies offer the option of renewing policies up to 60 days before they expire.
This allows you to purchase a new plan with different coverage options. For insurance companies, renewals are made annually to ensure that plans are up to date with rules and regulations, as well as adjust prices to account for inflation in the health insurance industry and reassess risk. If your company provides employees with access to health insurance plans, or you're considering offering them for the first time, it's time to familiarize yourself with the annual renewal process. When your health insurance renewal package arrives in your mailbox or email inbox this fall, it's important to consider it and review it carefully.
You may have to renew your health insurance every year, but if you have a plan with acquired rights or a transitional plan, you may not have to renew it until the plan expires. If you wait too long, you could be left without health insurance coverage and without an easy way to get it.
