Richmond, VA (PRWEB) August 11, 2013
Experient Health addressed what options individuals can explore if they lose their health insurance plans at work in its latest post in a new Blog series on Health Care Reform.
Under health care reform, according to Experient Health, individuals who lose their job-based health insurance have two primary options for health insurance coverage.
Individuals can get a marketplace plan.
“If you leave your job for any reason and lose your job-based coverage, you can choose to buy coverage from the marketplace,” according to Experient Health. “This is true even if you leave your job outside the marketplace open enrollment period of Oct. 1, 2013 to March 31, 2014.”
By using the marketplace, “You’ll learn whether you qualify for lower costs on your monthly premiums on private insurance or for lower out-of-pocket costs. Through the marketplace, you’ll also learn whether you qualify for free or low-cost coverage from Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP).”
The marketplace, according to HealthCare.gov, is “a new way to find health coverage that fits your budget and meets your needs. With one application, you can see all your options and enroll.”
Application for the marketplace can occur online, by mail or in person with the help of a navigator.
“While all insurance plans are offered by private companies, the marketplace is run by either your state or the federal government,” according to HealthCare.gov. “Open enrollment starts October 1, 2013.”
Experient Health offers a private insurance marketplace.
Individuals can also get COBRA coverage.
“You may be able to keep your job-based plan through COBRA continuation coverage,” according to Experient Health. “COBRA is a federal law that may let you pay to keep yourself and your family on your employee health insurance for a limited time, usually 18 months, after your employment ends or you otherwise lose coverage.”
