Default Beware - Healthcare Marketplace and your own insurance
I was pretty much scammed by the Healthcare Marketplace people to sign up for a plan when I already had a BC/BS plan from a local BC/BS rep. The Marketplace sent me a letter and wanted me to upload income verification on their website, which I could only do by signing up for a plan. I spent 3 hrs. on the phone and they told me my BC/BS plan had been cancelled and they had to sign me up for a plan. This was all taking place around 5pm yesterday. WHAT I SHOULD HAVE DONE WAS HANG UP ON THEM AND CALL MY OWN AGENT!! I didn't call him until this morning and he was able to get everything straightened out but I sure was stressed!! Beware if you get any communication from the Healthcare Marketplace - call your own agent before you do anything. I learned the hard way. By the way, my BC/BS guy is Robert Buckmann at 352-259-0666. They have an office behind CVS on 466/CR 101.
