Just found out I’ve been enrolled in both Marketplace insurance and Medicaid for the last 2 years.
Okay, I’m kind of freaking out. I apologize for formatting.
At the end of 2020, I had been working at a job that was paying me significantly more than my previous and knew I would not be eligible to renew my Medicaid. So in 2021, I applied for and purchased a marketplace plan that is discounted heavily based on my income. I’ve used it here and there, but found out yesterday at my local urgent care that my Medicaid is still active and has been billed for any appointments I’ve had since purchasing my marketplace plan. I called my dentist and confirmed the same with them. I’m assuming my Medicaid was automatically renewed in 2021 and 2022 due to covid (?) and the notices were being sent to my parents resident, as I lived with them when I signed up. All my bills are on autopay and my cost for copay with the marketplace insurance is very low so I genuinely didn’t notice I’ve not had to pay for the few appointments I’ve had. I’m freaking out at this point and don’t know what to do, I filed my taxes as normal this past year and nothing happened, they didn’t keep my refund and I’ve received no notices from marketplace. What do I do? Am I going to owe a lot of money or face legal action? I’m in Ohio and terrified.
