Moreover, the bill made it mandatory for every American to have a healthcare scheme. To get register or enrolled for a medical insurance program through the federal government marketplace a certain point of time in the year got ascertained as the period of enrollment popularly known as Open Enrollment Program. Each year around three months this Open enrollment period or in short OEP happens. OEP is the official time frame for enrolling in an insurance plan. Past studies conclude that many people have enrolled through OEP. But what happens if someone misses the tenure of Open Enrollment Program?
