HEALTH CARE EXCHANGE/ MARKETPLACE
WHAT IS IT?
The Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires that each state establish an online marketplace, referred to as a health insurance marketplace or exchange, through which qualified individuals may enroll in qualified health plan coverage. Eligible individuals that qualify for financial assistance to purchase coverage must purchase their coverage through a marketplace in order to receive the cost savings, which may include advance premium tax credit or cost-sharing reductions for those individuals who qualify.
The marketplaces, or exchanges, were scheduled to permit consumers in each state to begin the plan selection and enrollment process as early as October 1, 2013 for coverage that began January 1, 2014, the date when the individual coverage mandate became effective.
Health insurance marketplaces will support functions other than permitting qualified individuals to shop for qualified health plans. Consumers can also find out if they are eligible for public health programs such as Medicaid, and they can take steps to enroll in those programs.

Our Products & Formularies
ACA sets the requirements for Qualified Health Plans (QHPs) in terms of metal levels, out-of-pocket maximum limits, essential health benefits and more. Health plans on the exchanges are offered in a tiered format with several plans in each tier to choose from. Plan tiers are based on metal levels that match the percentage of costs covered (the actuarial value of the plan) as follows:
Bronze (60 percent) Silver (70 percent)Gold (80 percent) Platinum (90 percent)
Essential health benefits must be covered under each tier.•ambulatory patient services•emergency services •hospitalization•maternity and newborn care•mental health and substance use disorder services, including behavioral health treatment•prescription drugs•rehabilitative and habilitative services and devices•laboratory services•preventive and wellness services and chronic disease management•pediatric services, including oral and vision care

How will this affect you and your provider….
THE 90-DAY GRACE PERIODThe Affordable Care Act (ACA) requires a 90-day premium delinquency grace period for individuals who purchased insurance through the Health Insurance Marketplace (HIM) and received an Advanced Premium Tax Credit (APTC).
Within this 30-day period, the member is placed in delinquency and the first delinquency letter is sent to the member. Claims are still being paid to providers at this point.
After 60 days with no premium payment(s) made, a second delinquency letter will be sent to the member, with the future termination date if payment is not made in full. Claim payment to providers is suspended at this point.
If 90 days pass and the account is not paid up to date, the member's coverage will be terminated and the claims rejected for payment back to the provider. Once a member's coverage is terminated for non-payment of premiums, he/she is responsible for claim payment to the provider.
