Which he does NOT. I am an insurance agent and so I bought our policy through the MarketPlace/ HealthCare.gov. My monthly premium is only $37 since I'm not making that much money yet after expenses and my husband drives Uber. Anyway on August 29 instead of Blue Cross taking $37 they took $339.00. I called and was told by the Marketplace that they believe my husband is eligible or may have Medicaid or CHIP. We never applied for that and he's perfectly healthy, he doesn't need Medicaid. So I "reapplied" over the phone to get our tax credit back for the rest of the year, but I had to file an appeal to get the $300 back from the September premium that they took out August 29th.
We live in the state of Kansas, and I called the state of Kansas and ask them if I could get a letter or something stating that my husband does not have Medicaid and that we never applied for Medicaid. They told me the only way I could produce such a letter is if we apply for Medicaid and he gets denied.
This seems like a complete waste of time and resources not only for me but the state of Kansas. My husband most certainly will not qualify because he's only 31 years old and he's perfectly healthy. We're just simply self-employed. So I filed an appeal, and I just got off the phone with the appeals representative who made absolutely no sense. She said we have to prove that he didn't have Medicaid or didn't qualify for Medicaid on August 29th. Well since the state of Kansas won't give me a letter unless we apply, and in fact that won't even matter cuz we have to apply now which is not August 29th.
There's no way for me to get that letter. The state of Kansas is saying no we can't give you a letter like that you have to apply and get denied. So my only next step is to contest the appeal with a Federal representative. So to make a long story short my question is has anyone else ever heard of anything like this happening? Is there a chance I'm going to get our money back?
Also, the state of Kansas told me that they were getting an irregular high volume of calls related to people with the same problem. Can anybody help??
