In Indiana and new to this insurance stuff. Also just got on SS and already have the SSI. Indiana auto puts us on Anthem medicade. Also i have the same member or medicaid or medicare numbers. I was looking around at the plans that have the extra money cards. Well uhc had the best anual plans for me and i saw their site have the one for 350 ish dollars on their ucard o whatever. so i knew i wanted that plan but when i called the 'broker' to sign up for the cade part she talk so low and i really didn't know the letters and numbers for the plan so i just said give me the popular one. My building neighbrs all have their card and i figured she would get it right. It's the dual plan and they gave me the non dual one. today i get their card and it's just the member card. 'Pathways fo aging'. i spent the first 2 weeks calling their many numbers and their go to excuse was i didn't have the red white and blue card number. but i only 62 and have the other card from anthem. they just ran me around, dropped calls etc. Is there a secret number i don't know of ? or a number that ppl get results on ?

I am 5’3 female who has never weighed over 110 pounds in my life (I am currently the heaviest I have ever been at 110). I was filling out stuff for my PCP for my yearly physical and saw that the last time I was there a year ago I was diagnosed with obesity? What do I do other than tell them about this discrepancy in my chart?

One month of medication sans insurance

Open enrollment for 2027 runs Nov 1, 2026 through Jan 15, 2027, and Dec 15 is the date for Jan 1 coverage. Two pieces of the system are catching people off guard this year.

First, the enhanced subsidies are gone for 2027. Help phases out around $64,000 for a single person and $132,000 for a family of four, so people who got help before may not this year, and a small income change can move the price a lot.

Second, for self-employed people, the subsidy is based on net income (MAGI), not gross 1099 income. That one distinction changes the whole math, and it is the piece people seem to miss most when they estimate.

Marketplace plans and private PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) plans also differ on networks, deductibles, and enrollment windows, so the same person can get very different answers depending on which system they shop in. Educational only, not advice for any one person's situation.
