Summary:
We’ve streamlined and delayed deadlines for insurers planning to offer plans in 2018. Read more to find out how this helps you.
With the uncertainty in the insurance market right now, insurers need all the time they can get to gather data, crunch the numbers, and figure out what kinds of plans they can offer next year. The more time insurers have, the better choices they’ll be able to offer consumers.
That is why HHS announced on February 17 that it would push back a range of deadlines for the decisions insurers have to make.
We also eliminated a step in the approval process, allowing insurers to reduce regulatory costs and pass the savings on to the individual.
