Hi, I spoke with a gentleman today who asked this question. Both he and his wife work and have ESI via their perspective jobs. Neither want to do the family plan because it is too expensive. Can one of them select the individual plan from their job and the other select a plan through the […]
Hi Loopers, How do you handle proof of income for Uber & Lyft drivers? Do drivers usually give you their net income from self-employment or supply the gross income statements they get from the companies? Drivers get statements from the company (at least from Uber, not sure if Lyft does it the same way) showing […]
Hi All; Does anyone know what is happening with taxes when someone has income from social security? I had two patients to renew insurance. Both patients receive income through social security.

Hi; I just did an application with a couple who are pregnant. Does the baby count as one giving them a family of three instead of two? Their income is $59,678.96 annually. For a family of three this would make them eligible for a ConnectorCare 3B plan. For a Family of two it puts them […]

Hi, I am assisting a client who is over 65 and self-employed. She is approved for partial HSN instead of full. The client sent in her 2017 Form 1040 and accompanying schedules. We called MassHealth to dispute what they are using as her income which takes her over the 150% FPL for HSN. I thought that income […]
Hi, I have a senior couple who needs to convert $7300 in assets in order to qualify for MassHealth benefits. They already have pre-paid burial plans. Who do they call to get help for this type of situation? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I have a CommonHealth member who was recently terminated due to not meeting the deductible. He also has Medicare. He has been a One Care member with Commonwealth Care Alliance since the start in 2013. With CCA there are no deductibles and copays, so its understandable as to why it would be terminated. He has […]
