Colorado will have at least one health-insurance carrier offering individual and small-group coverage in every county next year through the state-run insurance marketplace, the state Division of Insurance announced today.
MDwise also elected to not participate in the heath exchange starting in 2018.
Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield and MDwise Marketplace are pulling out of the Obamacare marketplace in IN, leaving just two carriers if they both decide to stay for 2018. The agency said it plans to release details for public comment July 14. Anthem has also left the marketplaces in OH and Wisconsin. The decisions affect about 46,000 Anthem and 31,000 MDwise customers.
Two companies are pulling out of the health insurance marketplace in Indiana. Those who have employer-provided insurance, Medicare Advantage, Medicare Supplement, Medicaid or those enrolled in plans purchased before March 2010. "Fewer members than expected have lost their Medicaid coverage and entered the Marketplace Exchange market", MDwise said in their statement.
Conservatives on Capitol Hill anxiously await health care bill
Rob Portman, R-Ohio, was a member of that same group and told local reporters he had not seen a draft either, USA Today reported . Paul believes the bill now being drafted includes new entitlement programs, which he says will be a deal breaker for his support.
Grant, Posey, Warrick and Wayne- could have no exchange options next year without Anthem and MDwise, according to data compiled by The Associated Press and the consulting firm Avalere. Care is delivered to MDwise's Medicaid members through partnerships with eight leading healthcare delivery systems.
That essentially means those five counties will be able to get a similar plan to the one that is now offered under the exchange.
Affordable Care Act plans purchased this year from Anthem will remain in effect until December 31.
"We will continue to advocate solutions that will stabilize the market and allow us return to a more robust presence in the future", Anthem said.
