Marketplace plans

ACA plans carry full internal and external appeal rights.

Step by step

  1. 1Eligibility appeals go to the Marketplace; coverage denials go to the insurer first.
  2. 2Special enrollment periods may apply after a life change — 60 days is the usual window.
  3. 3Cost-sharing reductions and premium tax credits can be re-evaluated mid-year.
Before you move on

Write down who you spoke with, the date, and what they promised. A short dated note is the single most useful thing you can have if this issue has to be escalated later.
