I had to apply for health insurance via the Health Insurance Marketplace because I have been denied insurance due to high BP. Prior to choosing a plan, I called the company and explained that I was a FTmr. Was told this was okay. Paid my first premium. Today received a letter requesting 2 forms of documentation of residency of 9 months or more to continue coverage. This is my domicile state, SD. Now no insurance. Have filed a formal complaint with the state. Has this happened to anyone else. Thank you in advance for responses.

What kind of documentation were they requesting? As a full-timer I can provide several years of cell phone bills as well as Social Security and pension statements all of which show my domicile address in SD. I also have a driver's license dated more than two years ago and a voter registration card. In order for your domicile to be taken seriously you need to transfer your affairs to that address.

I too would go with federal documents like the Social Security statement, and phone bills, and the rent for your PO box and of course your Driver's license (photo of it) and registration.We really need to establish a 51st state (Might as well call it the state of confusion) that would be for full time RVers.. Basically all e would need is senators, a representive or two, and a DMV. oh, and the Office in Chicago. (That part is half joke.. Many states have offices in Chicago).

We found out we had no medical insurance for the month of December. The only way we new this is because of a trip to the ER and one night stay in the hospital Dec.31st. I spent Jan. 2nd on the phone trying to straighten all this mess out. It ended up being a typo error between human resources and Blue Cross. Obamacare patients socked with huge cash bills flee hospitals

Domicile in SDSo you have your SD drivers license, you have your SD vehicle registration(s), you have your SD vehicle insurance, your SD voters registration, all the mail that is sent to your SD address.Should be able to prove your SD domicile.Course SD does not participate in the Multi-plan Program within the Health Insurance Marketplace.Meaning that the medical insurance coverage you have via ACA using SD as domicile is only good for medical coverage within the state of SD.Any medical coverage/treatment outside the state of SD is cash out of your pocket....on your own---no coverage.Multi-Plan Program.........LINK

Do you have evidence that none of the SD plans have even this minimal level of coverage?

We received our letter requesting proof of residence today from South Dakota, Sanford Health plan, they request 2 forms of proof that we have been residence for 9 months. We do our banking , have drivers license , register 3 vehicles and still cant meet the 2 requirements, unless we basically move to South DAKOTA. Any suggestions on a affordable company w can go with in S.D.?

Out of curiosity, what sorts of things are they asking for?

Same state. Health Insurance Marketplace referred me to SD State Dept. of Insurance to file a formal complaint.

I am assuming that since you are a full timer you are not tied to any particular location. So is there a reason you cannot go reside in SD for the required number of months? Unfortunatley while this would get you coverage there it sounds like it will not help with your health care (other than emergency) while traveling.
