In-Health, the Ohio health insurance Co-op established as a part of ACA, is shutting down.  Here’s an explanation of the co-op program. HCR Consumer Operated and Orientated Plan CO OP Program.

Although no BBG client is insured by In-Health, we wanted to let you know in case it hits your radar with employees that get their insurance from a source other than your employer sponsored plan.

In-Health insured approximately 23,000 Ohioans.
We will help anyone who needs it.

In the meantime,

Things to know:
– Claims are to be paid (according to the Ohio Department of Insurance)
– Members will be informed of how the run-down will work
– In the near future the members will need to shop for new insurance and will be provided an special open enrollment period

We hope this does not affect any of your people, but if it does feel free to let us know. We will help.
