Important Update for residents of Crawford County, Georgia If you are a resident of Crawford County and bought health insurance through the Marketplace for 2019 it would have been an Anthem Blue Cross plan. If you have not gone to the Marketplace and updated your account for 2020 and are only relying on the letter you received from Anthem Blue Cross you may be in for a surprise when you receive your January bill. The Anthem Blue Cross everyone is used to is not the Anthem ...Blue Cross that is available on the Marketplace. It is the same company but the Pathway network is not very widely accepted. This means it is harder to find a medical provider who accepts the coverage. Anthem Blue Cross almost pulled out of the individual Marketplace a few years ago but would have left around 80 Georgia counties without an option for health insurance. Thankfully, Anthem reconsidered and stayed but exited many counties that had other options. Crawford was one of those counties that had no other option so Anthem stayed. If you live in Crawford County and have an Anthem Blue Cross marketplace plan and receive a tax credit to help pay the premium you need to be aware that the estimate letter they sent you back in October is not an accurate reflection of what you will be paying in 2020 if you keep that coverage. The new total premium is correct but the tax credit is based on 2019 and will be much lower is 2020 because of 2 additional companies being available in Crawford with significantly lower premiums. If you are in Crawford County and have not gone to the Marketplace and updated your account you will likely be devastated when you realize how much you are going to have to pay to keep Anthem in 2020. For example, you may have a $2,000 premium with an $1,800 tax credit leaving your part at $200. The reality is that your tax credit in 2020 would drop to $1,200 leaving you owing $800 to keep Anthem. This is why the Marketplace has been asking you to update your account. If you need professional help, I'll be working all weekend.
