2022宾州医疗保险注册申请11月1日正式开始! * 注:本文为大道保险(DaDao Risk Solutions)原创,转载请注明出处。 众所周知,美国是世界上医疗费用最昂贵的国家。医疗保险的重要性无需赘述。在美国生活如果没有医疗保险,随时可能由于医疗费用而背负巨额债务。 在美国各种医疗保险也千差万别。本文重点讨论将于2011年11月1日开始的宾州居民个人及家庭的2022年度的医疗保险申请。如果您是宾州常住居民,并且不能通过雇主取得医疗保险,也不符合美国政府对老年人,低收入居民,政府部门雇员,和军人等特殊职业提供的公费医疗保险计划,本文介绍的宾州政府自营的医疗保险平台Pennie上的医疗保险计划将是一个理想选择。 Pennie是宾州保险局根据平价医疗法案(ACA,又称奥巴马健保法案),于2021年伊始,推出的由宾州政府自营的医疗保险注册申请平台。从而使宾州成为不依靠联邦医疗市场而自己运营医疗保险的第15个州。购买2022年度Pennie平台的医疗保险计划的公开申请注册将于2021年11月1日开始,至2022年1月15日结束。需要特别说明的是,如果想保证您的保险于2022年1月1日正式生效,您的保险申请必须在2021年12月15日之前提交。 Pennie平台的医疗保险计划贵吗?Pennie平台上的医疗保险计划在2021年年初推出伊始时,保费基本和之前的奥巴马健保的保险计划相当。然而,在拜登政府的美国救援计划(American Rescue Plan)年中推出以后,Pennie平台的医疗保险计划的保费有了大幅度降低。作为美国救援计划的一部分,Pennie 提供额外的经济援助在2022年将继续,以降低所有宾州人的健康保险费用。即使您觉得自己家庭收入偏高,也可以咨询一下专业的Pennie授权的保险经纪,结果可能和您预期的有不少的差别。 Pennie平台的医疗保险计划都有哪些?具体承保的公司根据您所居住的宾州不同的郡(County)而有所不同。比如在宾州西部匹兹堡市所在的阿勒格尼郡(Allegheny County),承保公司有UPMC和BCBS/Highmark 两家。在宾州中部的人口大郡Centre County, 承保公司除了UPMC和Highmark之外,还增加了Capital BC,Geisinger Health Plan等。在宾州东部大费城地区(Philadelphia),承保公司则是完全不同的Ambetter,Independence BC,和Oscar等几家。各个公司的具体医保计划,延续了之前奥巴马健保的铜,银,金,铂金四个等级。有的计划,如银计划,在得到保费补助的同时还可以享受医疗费用成本分摊(Cost Sharing Reductions)。具体到医保计划的类别,则有PPO,EPO,HMO等不同种类。如果您觉得繁琐,专业的保险经纪可以在众多的医保计划中为您做出最优选择。 最后总结一下即将开始的2022宾州居民医疗保险注册申请: 开始申请时间:11/01/2021 结束时间: 12/15/2021 (01/01/2022生效) ; 01/15/2022 (02/01/2022生效) 申请平台:Pennie 承保公司:根据您所居住的宾州不同的郡(County)而有所不同 保险计划等级:铜,银,金,铂金四个等级 保险计划类别:PPO,EPO,HMO 大道保险(DaDaoRisk Solutions)作为联邦和宾州Pennie认证的专业保险经纪,自2015年起已经有三千多个申请案例经验,愿竭诚为您排忧解难!...
