New Marketplace rule will impact all insurance carriers, not just Ambetter

I mentioned yesterday a new rule from the Arkansas Insurance Department that will help the Department of Human Services keep costs down for the private option in future years. The rule, included in a recently released bulletin to insurers from AID, requires that all carriers selling plans on the Arkansas Health Insurance Marketplace in 2015 offer at least one Silver level plan which only covers the ten essential health benefits (EHBs) mandated by the law (plans are divided into metallic levels based on coverage, with Silver medium-level). Important clarification from officials at the Arkansas Insurance Department: Ambetter wasn’t the only plan which offered Silver-level plans with benefits beyond the EHB – all of the carriers did. In fact, there was only one plan on the entire Marketplace that was EHB-only in 2014, and as it happens, it was one offered by Ambetter.
