Happy 2022 everyone. I have a question regarding a client who is 62 years of age who wants to apply for CommonHealth. Her spouse is 66 years of age. Here are some facts: The couple have an active application via the Health Connector. Both are currently enrolled in a CC plan. The wife has Medicare […]
Hi all, I have a member that had coverage through the Connector Care last year. She had to get her tax form 1095-A corrected because it didn’t have coverage listed for certain months of the year. So, that’s all set but the problem now is that she is now receiving bills from a collection agency […]
4/9/21 — The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 suspends the requirement that taxpayers increase their tax liability by all or a portion of their excess advance payments of the Premium Tax Credit (excess APTC) for tax year 2020. A taxpayer’s excess APTC is the amount by which the taxpayer’s advance payments of the Premium Tax Credit […]
Hi; I have a client was offered a job with ESI. She and her family are currently on MassHealth. My question is because of the pandemic emergency can she keep her MassHealth or does she have to enroll her family in her ESI and maybe keep the MH as secondary coverage. Her ESI would be $500 […]
Hi all, Patients are beginning to reach out to me and my colleagues about reconciling their 2020 APTCs. One my colleagues noticed that, in the House Ways and Means Committee’s COVID-19 relief package proposal, there is a proposal to eliminate the requirement for taxpayers to repay the IRS for excess premium tax credits. The Senate […]
Happy Almost New Year! I’ve noticed that there are some inconsistencies in documents being processed when uploaded to a member’s account. Some are being processed faster than others. I remember MH letting us know that processing time was about 15-30 min, but that doesn’t seem to be true for all members. Does anyone have insight […]
Hi all, Two questions in a row, sorry! I have a client who was on MassHealth Standard but who had a big jump in income in the past year. He’s now eligible for ConnectorCare 3B. He doesn’t have many health needs, but he sees one provider weekly who is in-network with one of the CC […]
Hi everybody, I have a few clients who did not reconcile their tax credits and are experiencing the HC blocks on their accounts. Edited to add: all three have now submitted their late-filed f8962s. One client asked how they’ll know when the tax credits have been reconciled so they can get back in touch with […]
Over the past few weeks, I’ve experienced problems with incorrect eligibility determinations for members renewing their Health Connector coverage for 2021. As instructed, I enter any changes to income, check off whether they have filed taxes and reconciled APTC’s for the prior year, answer that they do not have affordable insurance offered through an employer, […]
Hello Everyone, I am wondering if anyone has worked with Medicare clients who pay out of pocket for their part A and were hoping to find an alternative for them? I have been searching for a waiver of sorts for them to get Connector Care but I may be confusing some situations. Thank you.
