Back story: I have purchased health insurance via the Marketplace (I'm in OR) for the past 4 years, same company, same plan. Expensive but I use a LOT of health care. This year the increase was substantial - $990/mo just for me -gulp- I knew there was a 90-day grace period to pay for the marketplace plans, and I (out of need, not playing games) basically went as long as I could without paying because it's sooooo expensive to afford and I am currently in a "borrow from Peter to pay Paul" situation. I *thought* I paid in full by the end of March - I had a major surgery April 7 that had been prior-authorized, etc. Then when a friend went to pick up my post-op medications the pharmacist told her my plan had been cancelled. Finally managed to get through to the insurance company and lo and behold, I was exactly $117 short of what I needed to pay for the full three months. So not only did they drop me before my surgery, but are actually dropping me retroactively to 1/31/25 and sending me my money back. Despite much pleading on the phone to the insurance company (Pacific Source), they are telling me that because I purchased it on the marketplace they can't do anything at all to help me. Marketplace says they have no idea how they could help. a) it's only $117 short out of >$2000 of premiums and b) we're talking 10 days past the due date, not like 30+. Does ANYONE have any ideas here??? Not only do I need to have this VERY EXPENSIVE surgery covered (it's going to be well over $50k), but I will need follow up care for the surgery as well as all of my health care needs this year (ie I take a biologic that costs $8k/mo). I'm literally panicking here....and no idea where to go for help or what to do. Any ideas????
