New baby? Coverage from their first day
Birth, adoption, or foster placement is a qualifying life event — and coverage can be backdated to the date of birth, so the hospital bills are handled.
Coverage backdates to the birth
Enroll within 60 days and your child’s coverage is effective from their date of birth or placement — including those first hospital bills.
The whole household can switch
A new child lets you change plans for the entire family, not just add the baby. If your current plan never fit well, this is the window to fix it.
A bigger household changes the subsidy
Adding a dependent raises the income limits for assistance — many families qualify for a larger subsidy after a birth.
