My mom is on a silver plan, purchased from Covered CA’s insurance marketplace. Originally, the premium was $177 a month (which we double checked with several insurance agents), but they suddenly increased it to $400 something and will increase it again to $500 something next month. There was an apparent error — my mom’s DOB was listed as 1980 but then was corrected to 1960, which started the premium increases. Now, the insurance company is saying she owes at least 1,600 and needs to pay it in two weeks.
Are they allowed to change the premiums mid-year? We would have never signed up for this plan if the premium was greater than $177/month.
Thank you for your help!
