ROANOKE, Va. (WFXR) — If you have lost Medicaid coverage for eligibility or administrative reasons, Virginia’s Insurance Marketplace is accepting applications for health insurance during a Special Enrollment Period.

Anyone whose Medicaid was terminated on March 31, 2023, and even through July 31, 2024, can qualify for a special enrollment period to apply for coverage. Virginians who apply for health insurance during the special enrolment time may apply for coverage at any point between these two dates.

Applicants will have 90 days to complete plan enrollment, as well as during the next Open Enrollment Period starting on Nov. 1, 2024.

If you lost Medicaid but believe you are still eligible, there is no waiting period to submit a new application.
