Dear Nine Lives Agency Clients,
The open enrollment period for 2026 health insurance is approaching. Enrollment will take place strictly from November 1 to December 15.
In 2026, the state of Illinois is transitioning to a new health insurance platform, Get Covered Illinois (https://getcovered.illinois.gov). We also inform our clients that not only is the platform changing, but the laws regarding subsidies are changing as well.
In light of this, it is essential to schedule an appointment with us now to renew your insurance, if you have one, to avoid errors during the update process. It is NOT RECOMMENDED to rely on automatic renewal, as the transition to the new platform may result in system glitches and errors.
If you do not contact us regarding the renewal of your 2026 insurance, with automatic renewal you will lose your subsidy, and your plan will be renewed at full cost!!!
Please note that after December 15, you will not be able to freely purchase insurance plan starting January 1, 2026 for urgent reasons related to your health or pregnancy.
If you:
You must schedule and attend an appointment with us between November 1 and December 15.
If you had insurance in 2025 and none of the above applies to you, it is not mandatory to visit us in person. We can assist you over the phone or via email. Please contact us at info@9livesagent.com. Ensure that someone is handling your request and please be patient. We strive to help everyone!
From November 1 to December 15, our office will be open every day:
Monday - Friday: 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM
Saturday and Sunday: 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM
What to bring to your appointment:
Important: All electronic documents must be viewable and printable in good quality on both sides!
Please try to arrive at your appointment on time to avoid affecting other clients’ schedules. If you are running late, please inform us!
Contact Information:
Remember that it’s recommended to reach out to trusted and experienced agents regarding insurance matters, especially now when the insurance system itself is undergoing significant changes.
