Or those who've been frustrated by the Healthcare.gov website ..... Just wait! It gets better.
Once the site indicates that you're "enrolled," it informs you that your next step would be to work with your insurer to get further details. (You receive no email or written paper verification that you've completed the enrollment process.)
Well, at least in the case of Blue Cross of Florida, post enrollment, I have found:
1). Nothing will be sent from the insurer for the "foreseeable" future and they can provide no timeline,
2). The insurer is still trying to "gain confidence) - their words - that subsidies are being calculated accurately,
3). Treatment of those enrolling thru the exchange is not good. Their 800 # representative actually referred to me as "oh, you're one of the ones whose come to us through the new ACA law....." (As she sighs). She suggests contacting my assigned sales rep for any questions I might but but my "assigned sales rep" for the new account will not return calls or respond to emails. (He's there but "always" busy talking to a customer. This has gone on for a week).
I'm sure that they're as overwhelmed as the healthcare.gov phone center ....
Reality .... You don't have to be in a rush to figure out the healthcare.gov site or to "enroll" in anything.
(If the insurers are effectively in a logjam now with the very limited number of enrolled getting thru .... I can't imagine what they're going to be doing in December!)
