Just married? Sort your coverage together
Marriage opens a 60-day Special Enrollment Period. It’s the natural moment to decide: one plan together, or keep separate coverage — and the math isn’t always obvious.
Joint isn’t automatically cheaper
Combining onto one plan pools your deductible but recalculates subsidies on joint income. Sometimes two separate plans cost less — an agent runs both scenarios.
Your subsidy is recalculated
Married filing jointly changes household income for subsidy purposes. If you were both subsidized as singles, re-check the numbers to avoid a surprise at tax time.
One of you had employer coverage?
Marriage typically lets a spouse join an employer plan mid-year too. Compare that against a Marketplace plan before deciding.
