Common questions

A growing city
brings new questions.

Based on Census estimates, the number of people living in Port St. Lucie grew by about 31 in 100 from 2020 to 2025. Here are three common questions for people who live in Port St. Lucie.

“I just moved to Port St. Lucie. Can I sign up now?”

Moving to a new ZIP code or county may let you sign up outside open enrollment, usually within 60 days after the move. Some moves have extra rules, so we check your situation with you.

“I retired early. What covers me now?”

A Marketplace plan is often the first thing to check. Your tax credit uses the income you expect for the year you are covered. Pensions and money you take from an IRA can count. We help you add them up.

“Is my hospital in the plan?”

In 2026, 77 of St. Lucie County's 115 Marketplace plans were HMOs. An HMO usually pays only for doctors and hospitals in its network, except in an emergency.

Straight answers

Port St. Lucie health insurance questions.

Which companies offered Marketplace plans in St. Lucie County for 2026?

St. Lucie County plans for 2026 came from 5 companies: Ambetter Health, Cigna Healthcare, Florida Blue, Oscar, and Wellpoint. The 2027 list should be posted around November 1, 2026, when open enrollment starts.

I just moved to Port St. Lucie. Can I get coverage now?

You may. Moving to a new ZIP code or county can qualify you for a Special Enrollment Period. You usually have 60 days from the move to pick a plan. Some moves have extra rules, so ask us to check your situation.

I retired early. Will I qualify for a tax credit?

It depends mostly on your household income for the year you are covered. Apply with your best honest guess. Count any pension and most money you take out of retirement accounts. If your income changes, update your application right away. Then you are less likely to owe money at tax time.

Is HCA Florida St. Lucie Hospital in every plan?

Don't assume it is. Each plan picks its own hospitals and doctors, and most St. Lucie County plans are HMOs. Look up the hospital in each plan's directory before you enroll.

Can I get a PPO in St. Lucie County?

Some. Of St. Lucie County's 115 Marketplace plans for 2026, 14 were PPOs. Another 10 were EPOs and 14 were POS plans. Each type has its own rules for doctors outside the network. If your tax credit is small or zero, a private PPO plan may be another option to look at. Some private plans ask health questions, and approval is not guaranteed. Some may not cover care for health problems you had before you enrolled.

When is open enrollment for 2027 coverage?

As of October 6, 2026, under current law, you can sign up from November 1, 2026, through January 15, 2027. A court case about these dates is still on appeal, so check HealthCare.gov. To start coverage January 1, pick a plan by December 15. Outside those dates, you usually need a life event, such as a move or losing other coverage. Our Florida open enrollment guide has the details.

Open enrollment starts November 1
