Health Care Exchange • The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) was • signed into law on March 23, 2010. • The ACA requires that most people that are either citizens or • legal residents must have health insurance coverage, or pay a • tax beginning in 2014 if they do not. • The intent of the ACA is make health care coverage available to • the millions that are uninsured in the U.S. • All states are required to offer a Health Care Exchange, also • known as an Exchange Marketplace, either through the federal • government, on their own or through a partnership between the • state and the federal government. • California’s Exchange will be provided by Covered California. • U.S. citizens and most legal residents are eligible for plans on • the exchange.
Health Care Exchange(Continued) • There are differing levels of coverage and cost, as • well as several insurance carriers offering the plans. • In order to be eligible for the Premium Tax Credit, • also known as a subsidy, a person must meet certain • eligibility requirements: • Their employer offers coverage where the • plan design does not meet the coverage • requirements of the ACA. • Certain poverty-level income conditions are • met. • The cost of employee-only coverage • exceeds 9.5% of an employee’s wages.
Health Care Exchange(Continued) • Important ACA Information Specifically for Enrollees in the City of Hope TABP • The Aetna and Kaiser plans meet or exceed the plan • requirements of the ACA. • To the best of our knowledge, in most cases, the cost of • single coverage for the plans does not exceed 9.5% of an • eligible Trainee’s wages/stipend. • It is highly unlikely that anyone enrolled in the City of • Hope TABP medical coverage will be eligible for a subsidy • through the exchange. • For more information, please visit California Healthcare • Marketplace at www.coverdca.com.
