Questions we hear

Medicaid ending?
Here's what's next.

About 10 in 100 Lincoln adults ages 19 to 64 had only a plan they bought on their own, the Census Bureau reports. People leaving Medicaid here ask us these.

“My Medicaid ends soon. How long do I have to pick a plan?”

HealthCare.gov says you may qualify to sign up if you expect to lose Medicaid or CHIP in the next 60 days, or lost it in the past 90 days.

“My pay went up. Can I still get help with the cost?”

Maybe. A tax credit is based on the income you expect in 2027 and the size of your household. We work it out with you.

“My child is aging out of CHIP. What do we do?”

That can open a sign-up window too. We compare plans for your child alone, or for the whole family.

How we help

Next-step help
in Lincoln.

Leaving Medicaid often means paying a monthly price for the first time. We walk you through the price, the deductible, and copays, one plan at a time.

Nebraska plans from more than one insurer go on one screen, each with its price after any tax credit.

If only some people in your home lose Medicaid, we look at a plan for just those people.

Lincoln plans don't all use the same clinics and hospitals. We look for the ones you go to now.

Straight answers

Lincoln health insurance questions.

When is open enrollment for 2027 in Nebraska?

In Nebraska, you enroll through HealthCare.gov. As of October 28, 2026, HealthCare.gov says 2027 open enrollment starts November 1, 2026, and ends January 15, 2027. A court case about these dates, City of Columbus v. Kennedy, is still in the courts. Check HealthCare.gov for the latest dates. Enroll by December 15 for coverage that begins January 1.

Is Nebraska a Medicaid expansion state?

Yes. KFF, as of October 28, 2026, lists Nebraska as adopting the ACA Medicaid expansion, which took effect October 1, 2020. You can apply for Medicaid and CHIP any time of year.

What if my income drops again?

Tell HealthCare.gov about the change. You may qualify for Medicaid again, and you can apply for it at any time.

Do I have to send proof that Medicaid ended?

Usually, yes. HealthCare.gov asks for papers that show the lost coverage and its end date. You have 30 days after you pick a plan to send them.

Can I keep seeing the same doctors?

It depends on each plan's network. We check the doctors you see now before you choose.

Is Lincoln in one county?

Yes. Lincoln is in Lancaster County.

What should I have handy?

Your Medicaid end date, your ZIP code, what you expect to earn in 2027, and your doctors and drugs.

When does a new plan start after Medicaid ends?

If your Medicaid already ended, HealthCare.gov says coverage starts the first day of the month after you pick a plan.
