Quote:5,700 Dropped From ACA Plans In Connecticut

A North Haven woman who was dropped from her Affordable Care Act plan even though she was paying her monthly premiums, is not alone.

According to Access Health CT CEO Kevin Counihan, there are 5,700 consumers who were inadvertently dropped from their plans for a variety of reasons.

Counihan said he was referring to the cancellation of policies due to the nonpayment of federal subsidies. He said the federal government has not been avoiding its payment responsibilities to insurance carriers.

The problem was that there were changes made to the application that generated a new 834 form. Every time a person changes information such as their income or street address a new form is generated. The 834 form is then sent to the insurance carrier by Access Health CT and is used to convey the federal subsidy amount. The various changes to the application may have generated an inaccurate 834 form, and could have caused problems for about 5,700 consumers. There are an estimated 80,000 consumers enrolled in plans with one of the three private insurance carriers.

In the case of one of Fasano’s constituents, she was paying her portion of the premium and was still canceled. The insurance carrier even sent her back the check when they canceled her policy. It left her wondering if the federal government just hadn’t paid its half. That wasn’t the case, but it prompted Fasano to write a letter to Counihan asking about the situation.

Gotta love ZeroCare when things inadvertently happen. Its only a problem if it happens to you, so why care about what happens to anyone else?
