Health Insurance & Medicare Changes Coming Next Year
 
ACA / Marketplace Changes

• Expanded Marketplace subsidies for Affordable Care Act plans will stay in place through 2025
• Fewer options – government is trying to “standardize” plans so they have the same coverage, regardless of which company you have & are limiting the number of non-standardized plans
• The “family glitch” has been fixed, potentially making 3-5 million more Americans eligible for a tax credit / subsidy
• Millions who were kicked off Medicaid are getting coverage through the Marketplace
• A health insurance plan is considered affordable if it is 8.39% (or less) of your income
  • More people will be eligible for a Marketplace subsidy even if their job offers coverage

 
Medicare Changes

• Cost sharing in the “catastrophic stage” of Prescription Coverage is now $0
• $35 cap on insulin for a one-month supply
• One company now has a fitness reimbursement benefit that can be used for golf clubs, bikes, fishing poles, etc.
• Medicare Advantage plans are becoming more popular overall in all areas of NE, IA, & KS
  • This means Medicare Supplements are decreasing in popularity
• Medicare Cost Plans are no longer offered in many rural counties in Nebraska

 
Group Health Changes

• We are seeing a DECREASE in the amount of people covered under traditional group health insurance due to:
  • Expanded ACA subsidies, HRAs, and now the “family glitch” being fixed, higher group plan prices
• Independent contractors can now be included on some group plans

 
Random Other Changes

• Fewer private market plans options due to new government action
• Hearing aids can now be purchased over-the-counter (OTC)

Western Iowa Networks, an Iowa-based provider since 1905, will begin construction in 2023 of a fiber optic network in Pottawattamie County including portions of rural Council Bluffs and Treynor.  Customers within the green areas of the included map can sign up for fiber services now and receive free fiber construction to their home and free installation.  As this is a project made possible by the Empower Rural Iowa Broadband Grant Program, there may be an aid-to-construct fee applicable once the project is complete and crews move on to other projects, so signing up early is imperative. 



The network that will be constructed is fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) with speed packages of 100/100 Mbps, 500/500 Mbps & 1 Gbps/500 Mbps along with crystal clear phone.  Promotional internet pricing is also available.  For more information or to sign up, please call 888-508-2946 or sign up online at www.westainet.com.   Our fiber networks are planned with expansion in mind so if you currently are not located within one of our project areas, please fill out our interest form at the above web address so we can contact you if fiber does become available to you.
