How To Enroll In a Health Plan

If you don't get health care coverage through your job or a government program, you have a few ways to get a Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois (BCBSIL) health plan.

During the Special Enrollment Period (SEP), you can sign up for a plan with BCBSIL when you go through a qualifying life event. Learn more about SEP.
