5 Easy Ways to Keep Your Coverage Active

If you get your health insurance through the Marketplace, renewal season is the perfect time to make sure your coverage continues without a gap. With Marketplace updates coming in 2026, it’s more important than ever to review your plan, confirm your savings, and stay informed about how any changes may affect your benefits.

At Catch Health, we’re here to help you keep your coverage running smoothly no confusion, no surprises.

1. Pay Your First Premium on Time

Your health coverage officially begins only after your first payment is made. Be sure to pay your premium by the due date listed on your invoice.

💡 Tip: Many insurers let you set up automatic payments so you never miss one. If you’re unsure how to pay, your Catch Health agent can help you contact your insurance company directly.

2. Review Your Plan Information

Once your plan is active, review your member ID card, benefits summary, and provider network. Knowing which doctors and services are covered will help you avoid unexpected costs.

Keep your ID card handy; you’ll need it for doctor visits, prescriptions, and preventive care appointments.

3. Use Your Preventive Benefits

Your Marketplace plan includes no-cost preventive care, like annual checkups, vaccines, and screenings. These services help you stay healthy and avoid bigger medical expenses later.

Start your coverage year off right by scheduling your annual wellness visit and any needed preventive screenings.

4. Report Any Life or Income Changes

If your income, address, or household size changes during the year, update your Marketplace account or contact Catch Health right away.

These changes can affect your financial assistance or eligibility for savings. Reporting updates early helps you avoid unexpected bills and keeps your coverage accurate.

5. Keep an Eye on Renewal Season

Open Enrollment comes around each fall, and it’s your opportunity to renew or update your plan for the next year. With Marketplace updates coming in 2026, staying informed will help you continue receiving the right coverage and savings.

Don’t worry when it’s time to renew, Catch Health will reach out and walk you through it step by step.

The Bottom Line

Keeping your coverage active is simple when you know what to expect. By paying your premium, using your preventive care, reporting changes, and staying in touch with Catch Health, you’ll enjoy continuous protection and peace of mind all year long.

We’re always here to help whenever you have questions, need to update your plan, or want to review your benefits.
