Save Your Registration for a Weekday: If you plan to register online at www.healthcare.gov, beware that the website will not run at full capacity on the weekends. IT departments will be performing routine maintenance and upgrades to the site during this time. This will prevent you from creating accounts, upload documents or apply for coverage. Call in for Help!: While the website is at high-use, you can call into a Marketplace call center any time, 24/7 at 1(800) 318-2596 or (TTY) 1(855) 889-4325. Beware though, the average call wait is 35 minutes. Don’t Underestimate for a Lower Price: By missing a zero off of your income or slightly skewing your earnings, you may be setting yourself up for a shock come the 2016 tax season. Subsidies that help people buy coverage are tax credits for the upcoming 2015 tax year. Avoid Stickershock: Prepare for a hike in rates this year. Several carriers nationwide are reporting rate increased from 7.5% to 19%. Before switching your carrier, double check with your doctor to make sure your care won’t change. |
