Just found out yesterday my huge employer is changing us to BC Anthem, which is apparently awful, so none of us are getting to keep the plan we like, either.
Ditto at my employer. They got rid of the HMO option. Now stuck with a BC Anthem PPO or High Deductible plan. Chose the PPO but deductibles have increased by an order of magnitude from around $100 to $1000 per person and the plan will only pay 80% of hospitalizations, etc. post-deductible compared to 90% before. I do save some money from the pay check deduction but dumping all the savings into a Health Savings Plan praying nobody has to go to the ER which is no longer covered. If someone does go to the ER went from $125 co-pay to $1000 deductible + 20% of other costs.
tell me more. Did you get a notice that it was because of Ocare? I’ve been wondering Why those who get insurance thru employers are NOT affected. Certainly their rates will rise — or is that next year?
