Extending Enhanced ACA Subsidies Through 2025
The U.S. Senate and House of Representatives have passed the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA), and President Biden has signed the bill into law.
Originally set to expire at the end of this year, the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) extends the enhanced American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) ACA premium tax credit subsidies through 2025.
ARPA included temporary subsidy increases for health insurance, including larger ACA subsidies for individuals between 100—400% Federal Poverty Level (FPL) and expanded subsidy eligibility for individuals above 400% FPL.

Client Marketplace Notices visible through your HealthSherpa account
As an ACA agent, you know there are several notices the Marketplace sends to your client with regards to their eligibility, 1095 A, and follow ups.
Instead of asking your clients for these notices, you can now access them directly from each client’s profile in your HealthSherpa for Agents account.

HealthSherpa Update Jan. 26, 2023
Prepare for Medicaid Unwinding: PHE ends March 31
|
|
|
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress passed legislation to ensure people would have access to health coverage and other benefits while the country was in a state of public health emergency (PHE). Millions of people who lost employer-sponsored coverage enrolled in Medicaid and have had continuous coverage the past few years.
When the PHE officially ends on March 31, 2023 people who have had Medicaid coverage will go through "Medicaid Unwinding", a state-run process to redetermine whether or not they’re still eligible for Medicaid.
As many as 15 million people will lose Medicaid coverage during the unwinding process, and almost 3 million of them will qualify for ACA Marketplace coverage. This is an opportunity for agents to build their book and enroll new customers in ACA plans during the Special Enrollment Period.
HealthSherpa will continue to share information about Medicaid Unwinding in the coming weeks as the end of the PHE approaches.
