Leverage The Special Enrollment Period (SEP)

If you have clients that are unable to meet carrier participation requirements, have dual-carriers, or that don't meet employer premium contribution requirements, the small group SEP is a great solution.

By law, all carriers are required to offer the SEP one time per year with $0 contribution requirement and no minimum participation requirement for small groups. The application period runs November 15 - December 15, 2018 for coverage effective January 1, 2019. Carrier administration of the SEP may vary slightly, including recertification at renewal, so check out our comparison. Download our Carrier SEP Guide.
