Whether you’re moving to Nevada for a job opportunity, family, or just a change of scenery, one of the most important things to take care of is your health insurance. Each state has its own health insurance marketplace and rules, so even if you had coverage before, it’s important to understand how to get set up in your new home state.
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you transition smoothly and make sure you’re covered from the moment you unpack that last moving box.
Step 1: Understand the Special Enrollment Period (SEP)
When you move to Nevada, you may qualify for a Special Enrollment Period. This allows you to enroll in a new health insurance plan outside the normal Open Enrollment period (which usually runs from November through mid-January).
Just moved? Nevada Benefits can help you take advantage of your 60-day Special Enrollment window—contact us today to get started.
Explore Nevada Health Link
Nevada operates its own health insurance exchange called Nevada Health Link. This is the official marketplace where you can shop for and enroll in ACA-compliant plans.
Let Nevada Benefits do the heavy lifting. Our licensed agents can help you compare plans, apply for financial assistance, and enroll—all at no cost to you. Schedule your free consultation today.
Step 2: Gather the Right Documents
Before you enroll, make sure you have the necessary information on hand:
- Proof of Nevada residency (utility bill, lease, etc.)
- Identification (driver’s license, passport)
- Social Security numbers for all enrolling
- Income information for your household
- Proof of prior health coverage
- Proof of legal presence
Need help getting organized? Nevada Benefits can walk you through exactly what documents you’ll need and help you submit them correctly. Reach out to our team for step-by-step guidance.
Step 3: Decide What Type of Plan You Need
Nevada offers a range of coverage options—from basic catastrophic plans to comprehensive gold-tier plans. If you’re healthy and just want emergency coverage, a bronze or catastrophic plan may work. But if you take regular prescriptions, have ongoing medical needs, or have a family, you might want a silver or gold plan with lower out-of-pocket costs.

Step 5: Know When Your Coverage Starts
Once you choose a plan, your coverage start date depends on when you enroll:
- Enroll by the 15th → Coverage starts the 1st of the next month
- Enroll after the 15th → Coverage starts the month after next
