Here we go: The 14 qualified insurance companies who will sell policies on the Obamacare exchange in Michigan have been named.
Here’s the press release:
LANSING – The Michigan Department of Insurance and Financial
Services (DIFS) received filing information from 14 health insurance companies
seeking inclusion in the federally-run Michigan health insurance exchange, set
to launch on October 1, 2013. Nearly all of the companies submitted plans for
the individual market and 11 offered plans for the small group (small business) market.
“I am pleased with the number of companies that submitted
Qualified Health Plans (QHPs) in Michigan,” said DIFS Director Kevin Clinton.
“The large amount of participation will foster competition and provide many
choices for Michigan families and businesses.”
While Michigan’s health insurance exchange will be a
federally-facilitated exchange, DIFS will review all plans to ensure compliance
with state and federal laws. DIFS anticipates that all filing data, including
rate information, will be made public on October 1st, after reviews
are completed by DIFS and the federal government.
