I think I may have been too clever for my own good.
When I signed up I didn't input any income information since I was undecided on whether or not I wanted to manage our income to be eligible for a subsidy. I plan to decide it later and just claim any subsidy we qualify for on my tax return.
However, the more I look at this the more I think a catastrophic plan is best for us. The premiums are about $250/month less than the HSA-eligible bronze plan similar to our current HDHP and the coverage isn't all that much different. Interestingly, using the insurer's calculator the premiums, expected costs and OOP max for the catastrophic plan are each ~$3k a year less than the HSA-eligible bronze plan which is the lower premiums.
I think I should be eligible for the catastrophic plan even though we are over 30 because the cost of the cheapest bronze plan is more than 8% of our income, however since I didn't put in our income when I registered on the exchange the catastrophic plans don't show up as an option for us on the exchange's list of available health insurance plans. I suspect that it would if I had put in the income information.
I'm waiting for a call back from the exchange telling me how I can get back into our record and add in our income.
Have others out there whose income is greater than 400% FPL but whose lowest cost premium would be more than 8% of income seen catastrophic plans showing up on the menu of plans available to you?
