Geisinger Marketplace plans for 2016

We have made a number of changes to our individual Marketplace plans for next year and wanted to make you aware of the benefit selections for 2016. Like many other insurers across the country, we are evaluating our ability to provide cost-effective coverage to our members.

While GHP is committed to the individual market for the long term, we are making changes to reduce our administrative cost by condensing the number of plans available. In 2016, GHP will offer seven plan options on HealthCare.gov, down from 17 in 2015.

This chart highlights the 2016 options. Current members will receive renewal information via mail by November 1, 2015. Those members whose plan is not available in 2016 will have a new plan suggested for them. We are advising all members to log into their accounts at HealthCare.gov to update personal information and “check the box,” allowing the IRS to provide updated income information to HealthCare.gov. This will help to ensure they get the subsidy they are entitled to and don’t have to pay back subsidies when they complete their tax returns.
