If your client offers the Premera
Blue Cross Plus HSA Qualified Bronze 6900 plan, we have decided to discontinue this plan for January 1, 2022 effective dates and beyond. Mailing of notices to groups regarding the discontinuation began June 28, 2021, and will continue monthly
as impacted groups renew throughout the year.
What does this mean?
This means your clients may need to choose a new plan for their group members to have health insurance coverage. We have similar plans that they can choose from and can provide assistance in choosing another plan.
What other options do your clients have?
They can choose a new health plan or offer their employees a choice of plans through different insurance companies.
When do my clients need to make a decision?
Generally, they can buy coverage any time. If group members enroll by the 15th of the month, coverage can begin on the 1st of the following month.
We are notifying your clients’ employees
Federal law requires that we notify all group members who have coverage that it is no longer offered. Because we might not know about other coverage decisions your group clients have made, we’ll advise members to check with the plan sponsor or administrator
about coverage options that might be available through their organization.
