Hello and Welcome!
October is here ... and along with Halloween, that means Open Enrollment will be here very soon.
For a plan effective 1/1/16:
Open Enrollment begins November 1, 2015 and runs until December 31, 2015
For a plan effective 2/1/16:
Open Enrollment begins November 1, 2015 and runs until January 31, 2016
Get ready to study new plans, make changes to your current plans and even just enroll in a plan. Enrolling in a plan will save you fees and penalties at the time you compute you taxes every year. This penalty increases every YEAR.
Do you know we can help you with enrolling in plans “ON or OFF” the Exchange?
The Exchange is a vehicle to help you pay your premium, a subsidy may be available to you – it’s a way to reduce your premium and still get a great insurance plan. The Exchange is also known as ConnectforhealthCo.org, check it out and call us.

Here we are, close to the closing of the "Open Enrollment" period for the ACA (Affordable Care Act) and we receive more information from the Administration ...
I will preface this information with:
This too can change at any time
As you may know, the Open Enrollment period is ending on March 31 deadline for change for a May 1, 2014 effective date. You realize that after this date, you
must have a qualifying event to enroll in an insurance plan
So what is a qualifying event?
A significant life chance, such as:
- Lose your job
- Change job and lose your insurance
- You get married
- You have a baby
So NOW is a really good time to make the jump or dive in and buy health insurance. If you do that, you will be in line with the law and the mandate, which states,
"Everyone must have insurance or pay a penalty."
Call us or your broker and get insured!

NEWSFLASH
March 6, 2014
After days of speculation, the Obama Administration on Wednesday announced a two-year extension for individual health insurance policies that do not meet the standards of the Affordable Care Act.
SO ...
What that means to all of you who did "early renew" your plans with Anthem - is that we will NOT have to make a change in 2014 to be compliant with the 10 Essential Benefits.
IF ...
you want to see what an ACA compliant plan looks like and know the cost, please let me know and we will provide you with that information.
Stand by ...
to see if Insurance Carriers agree to this new twist.

January 1, 2014 is already past!
Here it is, January 8, 2014 ... already.
Are you wondering, "Can I still apply for Health Insurance, get subsidies and avoid the Penalty for not having coverage?"
The answer is "YES!"
Yes, you can – you can still go on Connect for Health Colorado website and do the following:
- Create your account
- Go to "Get assistance" tab
- Search "80538 – Marie DeWolf"
- Attach me to your account
- Begin the PEAK application
- Finish the PEAK application and press "SUBMIT"
- Now you are in the WAITING MODE – waiting for your denial into the Medicaid program
- You will receive your denial number 1B ... or a 5B ...
- Once you receive that number, you can:
- CALL ME with your username and password (do not send via email for your own security)
OR
- EDIT your Eligibility with this number.
- You can NOW shop for plans and know exactly what it will cost you.
This needs to be done and finished by January 15, 2014 to insure that you are covered by February 1, 2014.
If this is NOT done then – keep the faith! You can submit by February 15, 2014 to be covered with insurance by March 1, 2014.
Good Luck!
Call me if you have any questions.
Happy New Year !!!

The law was passed in 2010 and now it will become law on January 1, 2014 - As of January 1, 2014 there is an INDIVIDUAL MANDATE – which means that everyone has to enroll in a health insurance plan.
The new law, will allow individuals to go to the Health Care Marketplace. The Marketplace is designed to help you find health insurance that meets your needs and fits your budget. The Marketplace offers “one-stop shopping” to find and compare private health insurance options. You may also be eligible for a new kind of tax credit that lowers your monthly premium right away. Open enrollment for health insurance coverage through the Marketplace begins in October 2013 for coverage starting as early as January 1, 2014.
You may qualify to save money and lower your monthly premium, but only if your employer does not offer coverage, or offers coverage that doesn’t meet certain standards. The savings on your premium that you’re eligible for depends on your household income.
