Individual plan update
We've enhanced our benefits effective Oct. 1, 2010 for new sales on the following products:
Regence Evolve PlusSM
Regence Evolve CoreSM
Regence Evolve HSA PlanSM 80/60/60
Regence Evolve HSA PlanSM 50/50/50
Regence Evolve HSA 100 PlanSM
We'll maintain the previously approved Oct. 1, 2010, rates for these plans.
We've filed a rate change request with the Office of the Insurance Commissioner (OIC) to account for these benefit enhancements. We'll release the new rates, which would go into effect Jan. 1, 2011, upon approval from the OIC. If approved, members applying for Oct. 1, 2010, Nov. 1, 2010, or Dec. 1, 2010, effective dates would be notified 30 days in advance of the Jan. 1, 2011, rate change.
What has changed for people applying for coverage effective Oct. 1, 2010?
-
Dependent coverage is extended to age 26: Eligibility of "adult children" is provided up to age 26 regardless of marital or student status or financial dependency.
-
The lifetime dollar maximum has been removed.
-
Pre-existing condition waiting periods won’t be applied to coverage of enrollees under age 19.
-
Certain preventive services as defined by the federal Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act will be covered at 100% when provided by preferred and participating providers. Deductible and coinsurance will apply if preventive services are provided by non-contracted providers.
Please note that all existing members will receive updated benefits Jan. 1, 2011. Members on closed plans will receive them when they transition to the Evolve plans Jan. 1, 2011. Learn more about this transition.
