Ohio Rates Are Out

[Yagents]

I'm surprised about Time insurance (Assurant). This may actually turn out to not be Assurant after all, but a new carrier with new distribution arm.

Wellpoint (Anthem) will be part of the Exchange. They just have not formally announced it yet.

My rep is still vowing Assurant will not participate. I also am not finding where Zane is getting this list. Does anyone have an actual link to an official release of carriers?

As expected, SummaCare and Celtic missing. HA only wrote in miniscule part of state. That may change.

CENTENE Corporation owns both Celtic and Buckeye Community Health Plan. Ref: Centene Corporation - Press Release=

They're putting BCHP on Ohio Exchange. Probably prohibited from placing both subsidiaries there.
