I have a former client who is a business owner with a bad health history, who just got her new ACA policy with a huge subsidy. She's paying $0 premium. She's about 3 months away from Medicare. She asked me why on earth would she go into Medicare if she can keep this ACA plan at $0? I tried to explain to her about penalties around not taking part B when first eligible, but I'm not clear on the rules around how ACA plans will be treated. Is the ACA plan going to be treated the way group plans are today - as an acceptable form of insurance allowing the Medicare eligible sign up for Part B at a later date? Or will penalties apply for not joining B when eligible?
As far as I know there is no mechanism to formally kick someone out of their ACA individual plan when they turn 65.
Does anyone here know how that will work?
