Tax Season Special Enrollment Periods
Updated February 25, 2015 Tax Season Special Enrollment Periods The second open enrollment period (OEP) under the Affordable Care Act ended on February 15, with more than 11.4 million people enrolled in coverage through the Federal and state Marketplaces.1 Attention now turns to the 2014 tax season. Many tax filers who were uninsured for all or part of 2014 are learning for the first time that they must pay a penalty, and have missed the opportunity to enroll in 2015 coverage. A recent analysis by the Urban Institute finds significant percentages of uninsured adults who may be subject to the penalty have heard little or nothing about it, did not expect or did not know if they would have to pay the penalty, and did not know about the Marketplace enrollment deadlines, if they had heard of the Marketplaces at all.2 The Federal government and eight State-based Marketplaces – in California, Connecticut, Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, New York, Washington and Vermont – have already announced plans to establish a Special Enrollment Period (SEP) to permit individuals subject to the tax penalty to enroll in 2015 coverage outside of this year’s OEP, thereby minimizing the penalty they could incur when filing their 2015 taxes.3 The Affordable Care Act requires that all Marketplaces provide initial and annual open enrollment periods (OEPs), during which individuals may enroll in coverage. Additionally, Marketplaces must offer certain “special enrollment periods,” generally triggered by changes in life circumstances – such as marriage, the birth of a child and involuntary loss of coverage – that permit individuals to enroll in coverage outside of the annual OEP.

health insurance Why It’s Important & What You Need to Know HEALTH INSURANCE: WHY IT’S IMPORTANT & WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Worry Less: Protect Your Health and Your Wallet No one plans to get sick or hurt, but most people need to see a doctor or get a prescription filled at some point. Health insurance not only protects your physical health, but also provides important financial protection to help you pay for care. If you are injured or get sick, medical care can save or improve your life. But going to the doctor, treating illnesses and injuries, and paying for prescriptions can be very expensive. 2 VERMONT HEALTH CONNECT If you do not have health insurance: Fixing a broken arm can cost up to $7,500 The average cost of a 3-day hospital stay is around $30,000 The average cost of being in the hospital for heart failure is $23,000+ healthcare.gov, 2014 AJMC.com, 2010 Unexpected health care costs can add up if you don’t protect yourself. In fact, not having health coverage could mean that you end up with bills that could cause you to go into debt or even bankruptcy. Having health insurance gives you peace of mind because you know you are prepared for an unexpected health issue or accident. THE #1 CAUSE OF BANKRUPTCY IS MEDICAL EXPENSES. 3 HEALTH INSURANCE: WHY IT’S IMPORTANT & WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW Be Healthy, Stay Well with Free Preventive Health Services It’s important to visit your doctor on a regular basis—even if you don’t feel sick.

Insights from Three States Leading the Way in Preparing for Outreach and Enrollment in the Affordable Care Act
September 2013 | Issue Brief Getting into Gear for 2014: Insights from Three States Leading the Way in Preparing for Outreach and Enrollment in the Affordable Care Act Summary Fall 2013 will begin to usher in the key health insurance coverage expansions of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), with open enrollment in new health insurance Marketplaces (also referred to as Exchanges) beginning on October 1, 2013, and Medicaid expanding to adults in states moving forward with the ACA Medicaid expansion as of January 1, 2014. With open enrollment rapidly approaching, during summer 2013, many states were in high gear to finalize preparations for outreach and enrollment efforts to help translate these new coverage options into increased coverage for millions of currently uninsured individuals. However, states have made different choices with regard to these coverage expansions and there is significant variation across states in their level of preparations for the expansions. This report provides insight into preparations in Maryland, Nevada, and Oregon - three states that have established a State-based Marketplace, are moving forward with the Medicaid expansion, and are among the states leading the way in preparing for outreach and enrollment. It is based on in-person interviews with a range of stakeholders, including state and Marketplace officials, advocates, Navigators and enrollment assisters, providers, and insurance brokers that were conducted during July 2013, as well as review of publicly available information and materials. The findings provide an overview of where these three states are in establishing their Marketplaces; preparing for the Medicaid expansion; planning for marketing, outreach and enrollment; and establishing enrollment assistance resources.

Hawaii Association of Health Underwriters & the Honolulu
Hawaii Association of Health Underwriters & the Honolulu Association of Insurance Professionals Monthly Membership Meeting ~ Wednesday, September 11, 2013 Time: 8:00 a.m. – 10:30 a.m. Waikiki Ballroom Cost: $30 for HAHU Members & HAIP Members ~ $50 for Non‐members • Payment may be made at the meeting (includes meal) • No‐Shows will be billed the cost of the event Speakers: Joan Danielly, Vice President Health Plan Service & Administration, Kaiser Foundation Health Plan Kimberly Click, Vice President of Government Relations, HMSA Jim Dixon, Esq. Topic: The Hawaii Health Connector – Latest Update In January, HAHU was provided an update on the Hawaii Health Connector and their progress toward conforming to the requirements of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care act of 2010 (PPACA). Given the “go live” date of October 1, 2013, key decisions will have to be made very soon by the HHC board. These include but are not limited to setting the health plan premium fee and whether or not to mandate that commissions are included in all HHC health plans; and linked to the commission decision is whether or not to recognize agents and brokers on all HHC health plan placements and ongoing servicing. The most significant change in Hawaii health care since the passage of the Hawaii Prepaid Health Care Act in 1974 was the enactment of Act 205 (SB1348, CDI) in August 2011 (codified into law under Chapter 435H, Hawaii Revised Statutes) which established the Hawaii Health Insurance Exchange Act (Hawaii Health connector). As mandated by PPACA State Exchanges such as the Hawaii Health Connector are intended to better enable health insurance purchasing and enrollment by the individuals and small employer groups in Hawaii who are eligible to participate.
