Self-Enroll and Easy Enroll are two different enrollment experiences. With Self-Enroll, you complete enrollment directly with the insurance carrier. With Easy Enroll, Take Command assists with the enrollment process for eligible plans.
What is Self-Enroll?
With Self-Enroll, you manage the enrollment process yourself.
You are responsible for:
Selecting your health insurance plan.
Completing your application with the insurance carrier.
Setting up premium payments.
Managing your policy directly with the carrier.
After enrollment, the insurance carrier becomes your primary contact for billing and policy administration.
What is Easy Enroll?
Easy Enroll is a guided enrollment experience available for eligible health insurance plans.
With Easy Enroll, Take Command helps facilitate the enrollment process by submitting your application to the insurance carrier.
Depending on the carrier, you may still need to complete certain actions before your coverage becomes active.
What actions might still be required with Easy Enroll?
Even if you use Easy Enroll, you may still need to:
Make your initial binder payment.
Set up automatic premium payments with the insurance carrier.
Verify your identity.
Complete carrier-specific enrollment requirements.
Respond to requests for additional information from the carrier.
If additional action is required, you'll receive instructions during or after enrollment.
Which enrollment option is right for me?
The enrollment option available to you depends on the health insurance plans offered in your area.
If both options are available:
Choose Self-Enroll if you prefer to work directly with the insurance carrier throughout the enrollment process.
Choose Easy Enroll if you'd like Take Command to assist with submitting your application for an eligible plan.
Regardless of which option you choose, you're responsible for maintaining your health insurance coverage after enrollment.
