income changes can move you from a medicaid plan back to an exchange health plan mid-year. some states are making special provisions for this back and forth to minimize service disruptions. but your costs will definitely go up if your income increases. i suggest you work with a navigator in your state to carefully select your plan. you'll get a better idea what's available in your state and can get help picking a medicaid plan so that if your income increases you don't have to switch doctors.
if my income qualifies me for medicaid in il but then my income goes up what happens? do i switch out of medicaid? . we're unemployed living on withdrawals from retirement accounts. projected 2014 income will probably qualify for medicaid in il (if there is no consideration to what remains in our retirement accounts). but if we find we need to withdraw $ from those accounts in 2014 or if we earn income in 2014 we will then no longer qualify for medicaid. what happens? do we get kicked out of medicaid and go back to the marketplace? change insurance plans? keep medicaid but pay money to someone for it?
