According
to the information on your 2016 Marketplace application, you or a member of
your household receiving Marketplace coverage will turn 65 soon and may become eligible for Medicare.
In
most cases you won’t want to keep your Marketplace plan because once your
Medicare coverage starts, you’ll no longer be eligible for any premium tax
credits or other cost savings you may be getting for your Marketplace plan.
To avoid an unwanted
overlap in Marketplace and Medicare coverage, you can go online or call the
Marketplace Call Center: 1-800-318-2596 (TTY: 1-855-889-4325) and tell us you
want to end your Marketplace plan. Once
you know the date your Medicare coverage will start, select the date for your
Marketplace plan to end. Usually you’ll want your Marketplace coverage to end
the day before your Medicare coverage starts.
Important: To avoid an overlap in coverage, you must
tell the Marketplace at least 15 days before the date you want your Marketplace
coverage to end.
