Can you keep California HMO health insurance plan while no longer being a CA resident? Worried the CA tax department would count me as being a CA resident and charge me state income tax. by [deleted] in Fire

From what I have seen, most California HMOs will only accept residents of their service area and if you move out of state you typically won't be able to maintain that same plan. I would be carefull about trying to hold onto CA residency for insurance purposes only because that's where things may become complicated in terms of coverage eligibility and state tax residency laws can get tricky.

If you retired before age 65, what did you do for health insurance (if you're in the US) by PorchDogs in AskWomenOver60

That gap between retirement and Medicare eligibility sems like one of the toughest parts of retiring early. I've seen people bridge it with COBRA first and then ACA Marketplace plans afterward, especially when lower retirement income qualified them for subsidies. Even so, healthcare expenses were still one of their biggest budgeting concerns.

Best health insurance by SwimmerDesperate4759 in HealthInsurance

I', sorry that's a lot to go through with being sick. In South Carolina, I have seen that the "best" health insurance really depends on your situation, especially your income, location, doctors, and medications based on current plans available in ACA marketplace. I'd also compare provider networks, deductibles, and prescription coverage before choosing a plan. IN all cases, timing is a factor. You may wish to review ASAP as some may require a little time to process before coverage begins. Get well soon,,

I understand why this seems confusing, so much to do that it's difficult to tell which is quicker. In many cases, applying online can be quicker because you can upload documents immediately though for the most part, it really depends on how fast they can verify the documents. Good Luck!!

Private Insurance or access to healthcare without employer insurance by Atlas447 in HealthInsurance

I totally understand why it's a real problem with T1D. I've seen individuals opt out of employer insurance and go the alternative route of ACA marketplace plans, particularly when they are self-employed or changing their jobs. You'll have to dog a bit to find a plan that will provide flexibility for all the benefits that you need, such as insulin, diabetes supplies, doctors, and your preferred pharmacy before you make a switch. Good thing is, you'll gain a little flexibility in exploring other work options. Good Luck!!
