It may even be withdrawn.  \nWhat is a Special Enrollment Period?  \nA Special Enrollment Period is a time during which an eligible person may enroll in a qualified health plan or change from one plan to another because of a qualifying event such as:  \n• You lose minimum essential coverage for reasons beyond your control (involuntary).  \n• You get married.  \n• You had a baby, adopted a child, had a child placed with me for adoption, took in a foster child, or was otherwise ordered to cover a dependent through a court order.  \n• Your coverage expired on a date other than December 31.  \n• You are no longer covered under your parents’ plan due to your age (reached highest age for dependent coverage) .  \n• You make a permanent move or change plan service areas, so you have access to new individual and family plans.  \n• Your employer offered to help with the cost of coverage either through an Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement (ICHRA) or a Qualified Small Employer Health Reimbursement Arrangement (QSEHRA) .  \n• You had another type of qualifying event as determined by the New Mexico Health Insurance Exchange.  \nNote: If you have already enrolled in coverage using your current qualifying event and you want to make a plan change, you will need to wait for the next Open Enrollment Period or until you experience a new qualifying event.  \nWhat is not considered a qualifying event?  \nThe following are not qualifying events:  \n• Loss of short-term or temporary coverage or travel insurance  \n• Voluntarily opting out of affordable employer-provided coverage  \n• Voluntarily canceling coverage before the policy renewal or end date  \n• Loss of state or federal benefits or assistance due to failure to provide necessary documents or verification  \n• Loss of coverage due to failure to pay full premium  \n• Ending participation in a medical cost-sharing group  \n• Gaining voluntary guardianship of a dependent (not authorized by a court)  \nWhat is required to apply for coverage during a Special Enrollment Period?  \nA person applying for coverage as the result of a qualifying event must provide valid supporting documents showing that a qualifying event occurred within 60 calendar days of the date the application was received which:  \n• Caused the individual to lose minimum essential coverage (such as aging off a policy or loss of employment), or  \n• Gave the individual access to new coverage options (such as adding a dependent or moving to a new service area)  \nBlue Cross and Blue Shield of New Mexico, a Division of Health Care Service Corporation,  \na Mutual Legal Reserve Company, an Independent Licensee of the Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association 478505.0324  \nHow do I know if the documents I have to support my qualifying event are valid?  \nDocuments to support the qualifying event must include the reason for loss of coverage or the reason for gaining access to new coverage options and the last day of coverage or first day of access to new coverage options. Documents to prove minimum essential coverage must include the last day of coverage or current paid to date of the policy. Additionally, to be considered valid, supporting documents must:  \n• Be from a legitimate source such as an insurer, employer, policy administrator or government agency. Some examples of valid documents are: 1. on letterhead or stationery, 2. signed by an officer of a company or agency, 3. printouts from an official website, or 4. from an official company/agency email account.  \n• Be dated within 90 calendar days of the qualifying event date provided on the application.  \nHow can I avoid delays in processing my application?  \nTo avoid delays in processing your application, please:  \n• Include the e-application number (found on your cover letter, if applicable) and primary ap","cbCaiiSLcxBcnbZ7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiiSLcxBcnbZ7","pdf",129234,"English","# Special Enrollment Period: Valid Documents Chart\n## What is a Special Enrollment Period?\n## What is not considered a qualifying event?\n## What is required to apply during a Special Enrollment Period?\n## How do I know if the documents are valid?\n## How can I avoid delays in processing my application?\n## Examples of supporting documents","[{\"question\":\"What events qualify for a Special Enrollment Period?\",\"answer\":\"Qualifying events include losing minimum essential coverage for reasons beyond your control, getting married, having a baby or adopting, moving permanently or changing service areas, aging off a parent’s plan, and certain employer help programs like ICHRA or QSEHRA.\"},{\"question\":\"Which situations are not considered qualifying events?\",\"answer\":\"Loss of short-term or temporary coverage or travel insurance, choosing to opt out of affordable employer coverage, voluntarily canceling coverage before renewal or end date, losing benefits due to failing to provide required documents, failure to pay full premium, ending a medical cost-sharing group, and gaining voluntary guardianship without a court order are not qualifying events.\"},{\"question\":\"What supporting documents are required and how can you ensure they are valid?\",\"answer\":\"Submit valid documents showing the qualifying event occurred within 60 calendar days of receiving the application, and supporting evidence that includes required dates (last day of coverage or first day of access).
