Is it possible to accidentally terminate your current insurance when starting an application through NY market place?
I really would like an answer. I posted earlier an no response and I’m kind of freaked out that I won’t have insurance until July 1st due to a glitch in NYSOH website and nobody is open for phone calls. I was Informed I was no longer eligible for essential plan and needed to find coverage by July 1st when it runs out. Today was the first day I was allowed to start looking for new coverage to prevent gaps. I clicked on the start app and decided I should wait for another time so I backed out and my enrollment page said I no longer had any insurance??? How does that make any sense? So I figured I needed to do the application and somehow got approved for Medicaid starting July 1st because I was laid off and making half of what I used to currently. Now the page does say I have Medicaid starting July 1st but nowhere does it say I’m still in enrolled in the essential plan as I should be. I’m freaked out and it’s hard waiting until Monday for answers and I can’t go over a month without insurance because of some silly glitch because I have lots of ailments that require frequent dr visits. I never chose to cancel anything.. only thing I looked up was sometimes when opening an application it can throw off the system and show that you have no insurance.. still doesn’t explain why it doesn’t show both essential plan and Medicaid through my current enrollment page now that it was submitted. No inbox messages confirming anything about termination. Am I freaking out over nothing?
