Doctors Will Be Left Paying Tab for Obamacare ‘Grace Periods’: Report | TheBlaze.com:"The Affordable Care Act entitles consumers eligible for the federal subsidy to three “free” months of health care if they choose to default on their premiums, meaning doctors and hospitals will be left paying the tab.
If people can’t pay their premiums and instead decide to cancel their policies, they are given a three-month “grace period,” Watchdog.org reports.
..Consumers need to pay a premium for just one month to be eligible for the three-month grace period, according to Section 156.270 of the Affordable Care Act.
The insurance company then covers claims for the first month while doctors and hospitals are left covering the remaining two months.
