   Another Healthcare providers nightmare…

   Affordable Care Act “grace period”

   Under the Affordable Care Act (ACA), if a patient who receives an advance premium tax credit does not pay his or her health insurance premiums in full, he or she enters a 90-day “grace period.” During the first month of the grace period, the patient continues to have health insurance coverage, and the patient’s health insurer will pay claims for health care services provided to the patient during that time. However, if the patient enters the second or third month of the grace period, the health insurer may pend claims for services provided to the patient during that time. If the patient pays his or her premiums in full before the end of the grace period, the patient retains health insurance coverage for the second and third months of the grace period, and the insurer will pay the pended claims. But if the patient does not pay his or her health insurance premiums in full before the end of the grace period, the health insurer will not extend coverage for the second or third months of the grace period and will deny claims for services provided during that time. In this case, a patient is then responsible for paying the entire bill for services rendered during the second and third months.

   Health insurers are required to notify physicians of patients’ grace period status. Still, a number of questions concerning the specifics of notification, as well as other issues of concern to physicians, have yet to be addressed. It is, therefore, important that you find out how your patients’ contracted health insurance issuers will provide notice and handle other grace period issues. It is also vital that your practice proactively take steps to minimize any potential non-payments from health insurers that are due to cancellation of coverage at the end of the grace period.

   To help your practice navigate this potential issue, the AMA has created a number of resources (below) to take you step by step through key aspects of the grace period.

   Anyone Who Promotes ObamaCare is a Racist and Here’s Why
   Posted on December 4, 2013 by Common Constitutionalist

   Remember back a year or two? All we heard were complaints by the left that racism was driving the Republican effort for new “more restrictive” voter ID laws. How the poor and minority communities would be effectively locked out of the 2012 elections.
   In April 2012, a guy wrote a piece on the website “Sojourners.” Their motto: Faith in Action for Social Justice. That’s not scary!

   The author explained:
   “People concerned about the new voter laws contend that the ID requirements erect an unnecessary barrier for some voters, which raises an obvious question: why is it so difficult for some people to get a photo ID? After all, you just pop down to the motor vehicle bureau, show your birth certificate or passport and a few utility bills from your house to prove your stable address, and voilà! But for many people, it’s not quite so easy, starting with the birth certificate, which many poor people and recent immigrants may not have at their fingertips. And, of course, people without photo IDs don’t have drivers licenses, and likely don’t have a car, so getting to government offices-especially in rural areas without public transportation-can be a complicated, time-consuming process…”
   There’s this from the website “Universal Free Press” from just a few days ago regarding proposed new voter ID laws: “Ohio representative Marcia Fudge (Democrat) wrote a letter to US Attorney General Eric Holder last week asking him to look over two proposed voting measures she claims are intended to ‘suppress the voting rights of African-Americans and other minorities.’ ‘I am concerned about restrictive legislation concerning voter identification … and seek your assistance.’”
   Obviously there are many hundreds if not thousands of complaints all across the Internet. The theme is always the same: If you are for the requirement of an ID to vote, you are a racist.
   So that got me thinking. I wonder what is required of poor minorities to sign up for Obamacare, for surely, I thought, they must have taken into account all the minorities without identification.
   I found just a site that would tell me at laborcenter.berkeley.edu.
   Evidently, if you are a poor minority, Medicaid (free healthcare) is for you. You will first have to access the Obamacare online marketplace.
   What, you are a poor minority without a computer? Well bub, you’re out of luck.

   But let’s say you could get online, and let’s say the site was actually functioning (stop laughing, you racist).
   Once you’re in, you must fill out a “simple three page application” to determine if you are indeed poor enough to access Medicaid.
   Great news, you are poor enough!
   So now you must go to your local Social Security, social services, or health department office.
   Providing you can make it there, you may be wondering if there’s anything you may need to bring with you?
   Here’s a list:
   Birth certificate or passport
   A power or light bill showing your address
   Something that shows your Social Security number
   A recent paycheck or tax return
   Let’s see; did I forget anything? Oh that’s right … A PHOTO ID!!
   Now I could rant and rave about what blankety-blankin’ hypocrites all these leftists are, but I think the point has been made.
   Anyone who is in favor of or promotes Obamacare is a racist! Therefore, Obama is a racist.
   That was easy.

   Excellent piece ! Thanks.While I agree I must ask your forgiveness for still being hung up on the fact that many non-representing representatives voted for Obamacare and didn’t have a clue what was in it.Then the brilliant statement of Nancy Pelosi “You must pass this bill before you will know whats in it” 🙂 Excuse me !? Now we have Republicans suggest it be fixed ? This voting cycle will be very hard for me to hold my nose and vote for anyone.
