(Bronze-level plans pay of covered medical costs, leaving to the consumer.) The deductibles are $4,500 for an individ- ual and $9,000 for a family. The HSA-eligible plans are offered by Anthem, Blue Shield, Kaiser and Western Health Advantage in various parts of the state, says Covered Larry Hicks.
There are at least two HSA options in each region, he says. So yes, Roger, you can pair an HSA with a Covered California plan. But beware that the Affordable Care Act (ACA!) has changed a few HSA rules for everyone. According to The Tax Institute at Block, the law prohibits using HSA funds to buy nonprescription medications and raises the penalty for using HSA money for nonmedi- cal purposes from to Question: Under Obamacare, it appears that there will be no asset test for Medi-Cal eligibility. Does this mean that my estate be subject to estate recovery program after I die? Answer: For some reason, expansion of Medi-Cal attract the same kind of attention as Covered California.
But a big deal. Medi-Cal, the version of the federal Medicaid program, provides coverage to low-income residents. More than 1 million additional Californians were able to join the program that started Jan. 1. Kim is right.
As part of the expansion, the asset and property limits that have limited eligibility will go away for most new appli- cants. (With some exceptions, of course.) The Estate Recovery Program she mentions is something different. In a nutshell, Medi-Cal pays for medical services for people who have enough money to pay for it themselves. In some cases, the program asks members to pay it back. After they die.
There are limitations on who can be asked. Under the following circ*mstances, the Department of Health Care Services, which administers Medi-Cal, cannot require reimbursem*nt: As long as a spouse is still alive. When Medi-Cal services are provided before the 55th birthday, unless the member is cared for in an institution such as a nursing home. (A hospital is not considered an institution.) If the member is survived by a child under 21, or a child who is blind or has a disability. If the department opts to seek reimbursem*nt after a member dies, it will determine how much is left in that estate.
That could include home. Department may allow a voluntary lien to be placed on the house to ensure payment of its according to a DHCS fact sheet. So under Obamacare, will the Estate Recovery Program go away, like the asset and property limit tests? No. Well, at least not yet. The federal government has told states that it will weigh in on this issue after Jan.
1, says Lisa Gray of DHCS. That means things may change. Or they could stay the same. For now, the program remains. Question: I was laid off awhile ago and though I have found some work as a consultant, it has no benefits.
I have been getting my health care through Cal-COBRA. This will run out next year after the open-enrollment period ends. I am satisfied with this coverage for now, so I want to change it. What happens in this situation? Answer: Yay, another acronym. COBRA (you want to know what it stands for) is a federal law that allows workers and their families who lose their job-based health benefits (under certain circ*mstances, such as getting laid off) to keep them for a limited time.
The catch is that they usually have to pay the entire premium themselves, without the employer contribution. Read: expensive. COBRA is for employers and health plans that cover 20 or more employees. Cal-COBRA is a state law that extends similar benefits to workers at businesses with two to 19 employees. Martha from San Diego and others with COBRA or Cal-COBRA coverage are considered covered under the Obamacare requirement to have health coverage.
So, yes, you can keep it until it runs out. When your coverage ends, that will trigger a special enroll- ment period for you outside of regular open enrollment, which will allow you to sign up for a new plan.
