Public Charge and Healthcare

Image
It is time to talk about Public Charge in Washington State. Here at Suzie Health Solutions, we have helped many immigrants and their families. Since we are licensed, we fall under a few laws that require us to protect our customer's information from prying eyes. Gramm-Leach- Bliley Act  and  HIPAA  to name just two. It's why we secure our office with encrypted computers, locking file cabinets and alarm systems to name a few of the protections that we have put into place. Page 1 This is the update from February 2020. People have rights. Each immigration situation is unique. There is free and confidential help available. Here are some of the highlights. 1. The new federal public charge rules do not affect most immigrants. For example if you are a Lawful Permanent resident then you are not affected unless you leave the US for 180 days and seek to reenter! Humanitarian immigrants are not affected. 2. Many public programs are not considered in the federal public charge

1095 Forms and help

We have formally entered the tax season which means 1095 forms. If you lost your form, do not have access to a printer, your dog ate it and you are in Washington State. Then contact Suzie Health Solutions .  If it is for a paid plan off of the Washington Healthplanfinder then it literally takes less than 5 minutes to recreate another one. If you walk into our office at 1630 N Wenatchee AVE, Suite 18; Wenatchee then we will even print  a copy for you. We do not charge and this is just one of the perks that we do. If you have a 1095 for Apple Health. This takes a little longer. We do need an email address and the Healthcare Authority has to mail it to the address listed. I do dozens of these every years. What happens if your 1095 is wrong? I have already processed my first one today  that had December completely wrong. These are rare and they do happen. While it only takes a few minutes to complete the form. It can take up to two weeks to get a response form the Healthplanfinder.
