Health Insurance

[Michael and Ganna 104]

We have been going through the ringer to get my wife health Insurance. We live in Michigan. Blue Cross would not except the passport stamp...They wanted Michigan ID or DL and green card.....Well by the time we got the Michigan documents they require hell had already froze over. 

 

How can I get insurance for my wife?....can she use tourist travel insurance until the enrollment period is open in November?

 

Any suggestions on what to do????

If it's through your employment maybe you could check with HR/Benefits Coordinator person to intervene on your behalf. Most workplace have open enrollment a few times a year, you might have to wait until then ? I was under the impression most allow changes during life events (marriage, kids)

I forgot to mention I am disabled...I have Medicare with BCBS gap insurance. Our income is investment generated.

At least one other immigration forum has postings from an insurance agent with health insurance.  Check there for options.

I just contacted Evan at E&M, and he was very helpful and knowledgeable about health care coverage for new, lawful immigrants that haven't yet obtained a green card, social security card, drivers' license, etc. I'll likely purchase a policy from his company for the interim period in which my wife's immigrating family don't have their cards yet.

I take it these are ACA compliant?
