My head is about to explode after spending several hours on the phone with people from the exchange, a local "expert", and our current provider. No-one was able to provide assistance for what I think is a somewhat common issue:
We have 2 residences - 1 in Indiana (summer home) and 1 in South Carolina (winter home). The SC home was recently purchased and we're planning on becoming SC residents due to high property taxes for non-residents.
However, we want to continue seeing all of our doctors in IN. We have to update our ACA info showing the new residency, which then makes our preferred doctors out-of-network. We are both under 65 (63 and 57).
For those that maintain 2 residences, how do you handle this? I found the following article https://www.verywellhealth.com/health-insurance-for-multiple-states-4584359 that states:
"If you split your time between your summer home and your winter home, you have the option to establish residency in either state or both."
"You can opt instead to establish residency in both states and buy a new health insurance plan each time you move from one house to another. This would ensure that you always have a plan with an adequate provider network in the area where you're currently living.
The United States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has clarified that your move counts as a "permanent move" because you intend to reside in the area for at least "an entire season or other long period of time."
Very interested in learning how others have handled this - thanks in advance!
