READ ME… ALL OF ME!!
It’s time to talk about individual HEALTH INSURANCE for 2019 — OPEN ENROLLMENT is starting 10/15/18
Information is starting to roll in. BUT we’re still waiting for the FINAL RATES.
What we know so far:
- There WILL BE rate increases — no, I don’t know how much yet
- There are NO new/better options in 2019
- There will NOT be any better networks or drug formularies
- Blue Shield will NOT continue the BlueCard program when you’re traveling — which means NO coverage outside of California, except for emergencies (like all companies)
- Deductibles are going up slightly
- Out-of-pocket maximums are going up slightly
Chances are, you’re going to STAY PUT on your current plan for 2019. Yes, no kidding.
Be patient… take a nice inhale 🙂
