THINGS TO CONSIDER BEFORE YOU SELECT A DIFFERENT POLICY
If you’re considering moving to a new Individual plan/policy, be sure to compare the benefits to your existing Individual policy. Also, when considering your options, please remember:
Changing your Individual policy could cause a loss of “grandfathered” status. Policies with “grandfathered” status are not subject to all of the mandates required by federal health care reform. Moving to a new Individual policy could cause a loss of “grandfathered” status. But, in some cases, if you choose to move to a new Individual plan/policy that includes a deductible increase only, you may be able to keep your “grandfathered” status. Please see your Policy to verify you have a “grandfathered” policy or contact your Anthem agent or our Customer Service team for further information.
You may not be able to move back to your existing policy. If you switch to another plan/policy, you may not be able to switch back in the future.
Your rate for a new Individual policy may be higher. Changing policies doesn’t guarantee your rates will be lower – now or in the future. Rates quoted on anthem.com may not account for specific rating factors applicable to you and should not be relied on as a promise or guarantee of a specific rate. To determine the premium for any plan/policy you’re considering, call us at 1-866-636-8991, Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. PST, or talk with your Anthem agent.
