So you’ve signed up for a new health plan and have received your policyholder card. What happens if you drop health insurance coverage now? If you cancel your policy, we can help you review your options. And, not surprisingly, you won’t receive any insurance benefits or reimbursement for out-of-pocket healthcare expenses. Plus, you may likely not be able to re-enroll in your employer plan or replace your Affordable Care Act (ACA) until the next enrollment period.
Yes, in many cases you can disenroll from your ACA health insurance and cancel your policy. Here are a few things you should consider before ending your health coverage, though:

We can also help you compare plans if you need coverage to help hold you over until the Open Enrollment Period. Additionally, you can also review your options now for coverage that may be available.
