ACA Marketplace Enrollment Solutions Provides Tips on How the Affordable Care Act Protects Americans Who Recently Lost Their Job-Based Health Insurance Coverage

"It is extremely unfortunate when any American loses their job and along with it their job-based health insurance coverage," began Bill Hallberg, Chief Enrollment Officer, ACA Marketplace Enrollment Solutions (ACAMES). "The good news is that with the Affordable Care Act, consumers now have two laws that protect them by providing health insurance coverage options and potentially saving them money on their health insurance premiums. Additionally, for the first time, consumers have an affordable choice beyond the traditional extended job-based health insurance coverage, COBRA."

Educate Yourself On The Facts Surrounding Loss of Job-Based Health Insurance:

   • Now there are two laws that protect consumers who are losing their job-based health insurance coverage: COBRA continuation coverage and the Affordable Care Act.

   • Loss of job-based coverage is considered a qualifying event, which allows the potential insured to purchase a plan through the new Health Insurance Marketplace.

   • Under the traditional and often costly COBRA option, individuals are responsible for paying 100% of premium of the job-based plan plus 2% for administrative costs.

   • Through the Affordable Care Act, individuals can choose from a variety of plans available to them in both the Health Insurance Marketplace and in the traditional marketplace.

   • In the Health Insurance Marketplace, many individuals will be eligible for subsidies, which can cover a substantial portion of their premium (up to 100% of premium in some cases). These individuals will have the ability to choose from one of the many insurance carriers, plans, and benefits available to them and can select one that will best meet their needs. Also, they may find that the cost of a Marketplace plan is significantly lower than the COBRA option offered by their job-based plan. "It's a fact that many consumers choose COBRA coverage due to lack of information about their other health insurance options. They may not be aware of the new laws that protect them as a result of the Affordable Care Act," remarked Hallberg. "Additionally, many individuals do not realize that they have a 60-day window under the special enrollment provision to consider their options and decide on whether to enroll for quality and affordable insurance in the Health Insurance Marketplace, or elect the Cobra continuation of coverage option" Hallberg concluded. Many people shy away from the Marketplace option because they do not know where to turn for Health Insurance Marketplace enrollment assistance.
