Interesting Call from Prospect...just Goes to Show You Exactly how "Affordable" Healthcare is Now.

[HealthGuy]

Since when is Assurant allowing any of these grandfathered plans to remain active? I thought this December 31st, 2015 - they were all terminated ? WTF ? Are you sure this isn't a HEALTH ACCESS ancillary plan??? I think this guy does NOT have a Core Med Plan.

Policy issue date was early 2012. I am 100% positive it's not Health Access or CoreMed. I spoke with Assurant on a 3 way call with the prospect. The also mentioned on the call that the 1095 forms should be showing up soon.

Also, Health Access wasn't ancillary coverage it was a fixed indemnity benefit plan.

The Time agent website does reference that 'some' states could have plans that terminate after 12/31/15. I just checked my book and I have two Major Med plans in Maryland that are still active, everything else ended in December.

In June, all Individual Medical and Small Group Fully Insured customers will receive a letter that outlines their termination date-please encourage them to pay close attention to their date. You can access MyBook to see a copy of the letters your clients will receive so you’ll have those details, too.
