On the mind of every Texas physician is the well-being of his or her family, especially regarding their health, health care and having the best coverage in place should it be needed. If you and your family are in need of health insurance but missed the open enrollment period window, which closed on January 1, 2016, know that not all hope is lost. You still have the opportunity to select a health insurance plan if you qualify under a series of life events. If one of these life events has occurred, you could enter a health insurance plan under a special enrollment period.
