Members Health Plan is implementing an orderly wind-down of all business plans.
What is the impact of the wind-down on those currently enrolled in the Plan’s benefit programs?
You should seek alternative coverage as soon as possible. Eligible small employers may seek alternative coverage through the New Jersey Small Employer Health Program carriers and may apply for small employer coverage at any time. Qualified individuals may seek alternative coverage through Get Covered New Jersey, which has a special open enrollment period through the end of 2021.
This communication provides the required 180 days’ notice that you must seek new healthcare coverage for your employees and dependents immediately but no later than December 31, 2021. While 180 days’ notice is required by regulation, please do not delay in finding other coverage.
As of August 1, 2021, any groups remaining on the Plan will receive a rate increase of 26% and groups will not be provided with renewal quotes or increases at the time of their renewal. For example, suppose your renewal is currently scheduled for October or January. In that case, you will be receiving your rate increase on August 1st, and at renewal, the group will be continued at the rate provided in August until your termination date with the Trust or December 31, 2021, whichever is the earliest.
