What Happens When You Lose Medicaid Coverage?

If you lose Medicaid coverage, you will need to find other health insurance. You can do this by purchasing a plan through the Affordable Care Act (ACA) marketplace or through a private insurer.

When you apply, you will need to provide information about your income, household size, and health status. You will also need to choose a plan.

There are many different ACA plans to choose from. It’s important to compare the plans and choose one that meets your needs and budget.

Tips for Choosing the Right ACA Plan

Here are a few tips for choosing the right ACA plan:

Consider your budget. ACA plans vary in price, so it’s important to choose a plan that you can afford.

Consider your health needs. If you have any health conditions, you will need to choose a plan that covers those conditions.

Consider your out-of-pocket maximum. The out-of-pocket maximum is the most you will have to pay for covered services in a year. Choose a plan with an out-of-pocket maximum that you can afford.
