Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
I think I messed up but I argue it is not entirely my fault.
On the Washington healthcare site I logged on yesterday, the first day of open enrollment for 2016 policies. I tried to view our 2016 policy options but was unable to see the correct policies because it was using our 2015 status (relatively high income). I clicked what I thought was a button to update 2016 income and I changed it to $11,000 each person ($22,000 total) which is what I am targeting in 2016.
This incorrectly generated a special enrollment period for 2015 and wanted me to choose a new policy for 12/1/2015 to 12/31/2015. I already have a silver plan ACA policy that was supposed to run until 12/31/2015 and we have been making payments (already paid November). It also wanted proof of income paperwork submitted by 2/28/2016 so we could get a policy for this December
This morning I decided I would just submit a new form correcting the income back to a point where it didn't generate an open enrollment. It asked if my wife was currently employed and I checked no. It then instantly signed me and my wife onto Apple care (Washington Medicaid)!!!
Now I call customer service and they say I am on Medicaid and they can't do anything about it. They say I need to call Apple care and cancel it but I will need to then submit for new insurance by Nov 23 2015 for December coverage. Right now it seems I am double covered with my current paid Premera Blue Cross silver plan and this Apple care. If I apply for a December plan, I will lose the deductible money we have paid so far this year.
I wasn't even legally eligible for a special enrollment, so how can any of this be legal?
One click destruction.
