Premera is pleased to announce changes in the multiple-choice guidelines for our small group customers. These changes are available for groups with effective dates beginning October 1, 2022. Here’s a summary of the new guideline:
- Groups with 6 to 50 enrolled employees may offer dual choice by combining two different Premera medical plans.
- Groups with 10 to 50 enrolled employees may offer triple choice by combining three different Premera medical plans.
- Metallic level restrictions have been removed. Groups can elect to offer plans in any metallic level combination.
- Network plan pairing restrictions have been removed. Groups can elect to offer any combination of the Balance, Choice, or Peak Care plans.
- A minimum of three employees must enroll on each plan selected for that plan to be offered.
- Groups may not mix medical only plans with medical plans that include embedded family dental. Stand-alone dental plans are not available to be paired with medical plans that include family dental.
