###Terms & Conditions###
By choosing to apply for a subsidy for healthcare assistance, please be aware of the following conditions:
Healthcare assistance may come in the form of a tax credit to assist in paying insurance premiums through the Marketplace or Medicaid coverage. By applying for this subsidy, you will be considered for both programs.
If you, or members of your family, are found eligible for Medicaid, you will receive Medicaid for those family members and not a tax credit.
If your child is eligible for Medicaid and has a non-custodial parent, cooperation with a child support order is required.
In order to receive a Premium Tax Credit to purchase insurance, you must file taxes for the current calendar year.
If you are already receiving health insurance from VA, Peace Corp, Tri-Care, Medicare OR if your employer offers coverage that meets the minimum value standards, you will not be eligible to receive a tax credit.
###Identity Verification###
####Terms & Conditions####
To protect your privacy, you will need to complete Identity Verification successfully before you can continue applying for Health Coverage Assistance online. You are providing consent to Experian, an external identity verification provider, to access your personal information to conduct Identity Verification on behalf of Idaho Department of Health and Welfare. Below are a few items to keep in mind.
Ensure that you have entered your legal name, current home address, primary phone number, date of birth, and email address correctly.
This process involves Experian using information from your consumer report profile to help confirm your identity. As a result, you may see an entry called a "soft inquiry" on your Experian consumer report. Soft inquiries are only visible to you, will never be presented to third parties, and do not affect your credit score. The soft inquiry will be titled "CMS Proofing Services" and will be removed from your Experian consumer report after 25 months.
You may need to have access to your personal and consumer report information through this Identity Verification process, as Experian will pose questions to you based on data in their files.
If you accept these Terms & Conditions, click "Next" to proceed. If you do not accept these Terms & Conditions, but would still like to apply for Health Coverage Assistance, please submit a completed paper version of the application to us.
###I understand that...###
My signature certifies that the information on this application is true and accurate. I could be sanctioned and required to return any benefit I receive if my information is not true. Sanctions may include administrative, civil or criminal actions against me, including prosecution.
I consent to the gathering, use and disclosure of my information by the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare or its designees. I understand the information is needed for the purpose of providing benefits or services, obtaining payment for my benefits or services, and for normal business operations of the Department.
I consent to the gathering and use of income data, including information from tax returns for determining eligibility for help paying for health coverage in future years (up to 5 years). I will receive notice when this occurs, be able to make changes, and may opt out at any time.
I have the right to revoke this consent, in writing, at any time except to the extent the Department has already used and disclosed my information in reliance on this consent. If I revoke this consent, the Department may not provide further benefits or services.
I will be notified of the right to appeal Department decisions and I can contact the Department for information on the appeal process.
My signature indicates I have received a copy of the Department Privacy Practices.
By applying for benefits for a minor child, a medical support case must be opened, when applicable. If I am receiving benefits for myself, failure to cooperate with Child Support Services may result in a loss or decrease of my benefits.
If I am determined eligible for Medicaid, I choose the plan that is based on my health needs, unless I tell the Self Reliance worker otherwise. If I am determined eligible for Medicaid, I may be responsible for paying part of the cost of my child's health coverage, and I will be notified of my co-pay amount.
If I am determined eligible to receive an Advance Payment of Premium Tax Credit (APTC) and use these funds towards the purchase of a Qualified Health Plan (QHP), any discrepancies between my reported income which was used to determine eligibility and the amount of the tax credit will be reconciled with the final income reported on my taxes at the end of the calendar year. The IRS will be responsible for conducting this reconciliation, and any discrepancies may result in an adjustment of the tax credit, including entitlement to additional funds or re-payment of funds overpaid to me.
My signature or the signature of my representative authorizes State offices to communicate with insurance companies related to my/my child's medical assistance.
I have the right to choose a Healthy Connections Primary Care Doctor, to request referrals for services, and to change the doctor/clinic if my circumstances change.
If I receive Medicaid after age 55, my estate may be subject to recovery of medical expenses paid on my behalf, and that any transfer of assets may be set aside by a court if I do not receive adequate value.
If a third party is responsible for my child's disease or injury, I give to Medicaid any rights I may have, or may acquire in the future, to be compensated by the responsible party for any medical benefits I receive for myself/my children.
If I receive Health Coverage Assistance, I am required to report changes in my circumstance, including income, assets, and living situation within ten (10) days of the change.
I may be required to cooperate with state or federal reviewers who are making sure my benefits are correct. I may not be eligible to receive benefits if I do not cooperate.
