How to cancel your Health Marketplace insurance

If you choose to cancel your Health Marketplace insurance, you’ll need to contact your insurance company directly. Be sure to have your policy number on hand when you call.

You can also cancel your insurance online, but the process will vary depending on your insurance company. If you go this route, be sure to have your policy number handy.

If neither of these applies to you, then you’ll have to wait until the next open enrollment period to cancel your insurance.

When to cancel your Health Marketplace insurance

If you have a Marketplace plan, you can cancel it at any time. You’ll need to cancel your coverage before the end of the month if you want to switch to a different plan.

You can also cancel if you no longer have a legal requirement to have health coverage, for example, because you turned 26 and are no longer covered under your parent’s plan. If you cancel your plan, you may have to pay back some of the premium tax credit you received.

If you cancel outside of Open Enrollment, you can’t get another Marketplace plan unless you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period.

There are 2 ways to cancel your Marketplace insurance: online or by calling your Marketplace.

Reasons to cancel your Health Marketplace insurance

If you are no longer eligible for a subsidy, or if your income or household size has changed, you may want to cancel your Marketplace insurance. You can also cancel if you get other health coverage, such as through a job, Medicare, Medicaid, or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).

Here are some other reasons you may want to cancel your Marketplace insurance:

-You move out of the area covered by your plan. Check to see if there is a similar plan available in your new area.
-You no longer want health insurance. Keep in mind that if you do not have health insurance and do not qualify for an exemption, you’ll have to pay a fee when you file your taxes.
-You’re unhappy with your plan for other reasons and want to enroll in a different Marketplace plan during the next open enrollment period.

If you decide to cancel your Marketplace insurance, call your insurer or log in to your account on Healthcare.gov to cancel coverage effective at the end of the month. If you paid for coverage in advance, you’ll probably be able to get a refund for future months.
