Healthcare Marketplace - Accidental Medicaid Enrollment

[DeleteMePlease123 91]

Hey guys,

 

I am trying to get some answers regarding the use of the Marketplace and obtaining health insurance. I sent my application through the Marketplace (ACA) and was given options to sign up with a few decent plans (Bluecross Blueshield, etc) but I just received a letter in the mail stating that I was signed up for Medicaid here in Illinois (Molina Healthcare) and obviously I cannot be on Medicaid due to the public charge ruling.

 

My questions are:

 

1) I am going to disenroll from Medicaid ASAP to avoid any unpleasant entanglements in the future. Will this affect my immigration process in any way? Is it a positive thing that I'm doing my disenrollment to prove USCIS I didn't mean to be approved for Medicaid? I'm doing AOS from VWP.

2) Once I am disenrolled, should I sent a notice to USCIS or wait until the interview? Should I bring an updated I-944?

3) Should I be freaking out at all?

 

Thank you.
