Tribal Membership / CDIB Card
Illustration only — personal details redacted. Your real card stays private.
Enroll any month of the year
Tribal members can sign up for or switch Marketplace plans once a month, every month — no waiting for open enrollment.
No medical questions
Acceptance is guaranteed. Nobody can be turned away or charged more because of their health history.
Every pre-existing condition covered
Diabetes, heart conditions, cancer, pregnancy — covered from day one, with no waiting periods and no exclusions.
Often $0 a month
After premium tax credits, many tribal households pay nothing per month — and under 300% of the federal poverty level, $0 deductibles and copays too.
Keep your tribal clinic
Your plan works alongside IHS, tribal and urban Indian health care — and adds hospitals and specialists outside the tribal system.
Covers your household
Eligible family members in the same household can qualify for the same year-round enrollment and savings.
*Some ACA plans in some areas have a small one-time enrollment fee due to little or no broker compensation. Agency enrollment fees never apply to Medicare products.

Subject to review and qualification. Year-round enrollment applies to members of federally recognized tribes (and certain eligible family members) who qualify for Marketplace coverage; eligibility is confirmed through the official Marketplace application. $0 premium is not guaranteed — it depends on household income, premium tax credits, household size and the plan you choose. Zero cost sharing applies to members under 300% of the federal poverty level, and for care from IHS, tribal or urban Indian providers at any income. Plan availability varies by county.
