Oregon announced final Individual and Small Employer health insurance rates for 2017. Rate filings are publicly available. Rates are going up again for the new year, due mainly to the unusually high amount of claims from individual plan members. We are reviewing the options and rates now and will be prepared to help you with review and enrollment during the 2017 open enrollment beginning November 1, 2016. Read the news release and see the approved rates here.
We expect that the Oregon plans below will be available for 2017 individual and/or group health plans. Along with the rate increases, some plans will be leaving certain counties, renaming products and networks, and some plans are expected to require the selection of a primary care provider at the time of enrollment. You can click on the name of each plan to learn more about their plan options, networks, and more;
LifeWise Health Plan of Oregon; this plan is leaving Oregon January 1, 2017.
LifWise Health Plan of Washington; this plan will no longer allow consumers to use licensed and certified health insurance agents effective January 2017.
We are also reviewing the Washington health insurance carriers, options and rates, and will be ready to help Washington health insurance consumers during the 2017 open enrollment.
