Her case has been referred to a Rapid Response Team at the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services. • A Townsend woman is transitioning to a new part-time job that doesn’t offer insurance. With the help of a Marketplace Guide, she qualified for a subsidy that will cover her costs entirely. She also chose a dental plan and will pay $31 a month. 17 Stories from the Ground • A Dover man who lost his job in the fall thought he might be eligible for Medicaid, but he was not. He was referred to a Marketplace Guide for assistance. • A 54-year-old retired woman from Delmar requested support from a Marketplace Guide at the Laurel State Service Center. Eligible for a $650 tax credit, she will pay $21 a month. She is happy to have affordable insurance and grateful to have been assisted. • A Marketplace Guide at Westside’s Northeast office helped a 24year-old single man enroll. He is eligible for a $82 tax credit and will have a monthly premium of $141. 18 Recent Updates • On January 14th, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services announced an extension of the Preexisting Condition Insurance Plan until March 31st. Those currently enrolled in PCIP can remain in that plan until this new deadline. This impacts 249 Delawareans. • As was reported in The Washington Post, a small percentage of HealthCare.gov enrollees nationwide have encountered errors and have filed appeals to correct those errors, but find themselves stuck in the system. CMS is working to manually contact these individuals to resolve their cases and has made system changes to resolve the issues they are encountering. 19 Recent Updates • This week the Congressional Budget Office reduced by 2 million the number of uninsured people expected to get covered this year through the Affordable Care Act. The office expects 6 million people to sign up through the federal and state marketplaces, down from the previous estimate of 7 million, and another 8 million to get covered through the Medicaid expansion, down from 9 million. • Earlier issues with adding dependents through special enrollments have been resolved 20 Marketplace and Medicaid Enrollment Update As of January 31, 2014, 6,458 Delawareans have enrolled in health care coverage through expanded Medicaid and the Marketplace since October 1, 2013 21 Marketplace and Medicaid Enrollment Update Enrollment for the 4-Month Period: October 1, 2013 through January 31, 2014* Total Number of Enrollees Increase from previous month Medicaid 1,396 32% Marketplace* 5,062 59% Total 6,458 53% *To be consistent with the Federal government’s reporting, this number represents Delawareans who have selected a Marketplace plan, either through Healthcare.gov, or through direct enrollment with an issuer (with or without the first premium payment having been received directly by the Insurance Company.)
