It is counterintuitive, but for 2022, increased competition in the health insurance market for Contra Costa County will increase the premiums for Covered California members in the region. How is this possible? The subsidies are based on the Second Lowest Cost Silver Plan. Bright HealthCare, a new health plan, will offer Silver plans in 2022. The new 2022 California Premium Credit Program covers the cost of said rule so that anyone who had a $1 monthly charge, will now have a $0 premium for their health insurance.
Of course, the credit could not apply just to people were being charge only $1, everyone must receive the special $1 dollar bonus. Many people want predictable copayments for routine services and are willing to accept a large deductible and maximum out-of-pocket amount for the rare and unexpected hospitalization. Blue Shield of California has come pretty close to designing such a plan with their 2022 Bronze 7500 HMO individual and family plan.
I'm sure many consumers will welcome the passive switch from a Bronze plan to a Silver 94 without having to pay anything more for the health insurance.

A dam site at Salmon Falls was too low in elevation to allow for the ditch to exit the river canyon between Red Bank and Mormon Island.
Consequently, the dam site was moved to Rocky Bar which had an elevation of approximately 450 feet.
With a small dam across the river, the headwaters for the canal would be elevated to 465 feet.
The minimal slope of the ditch line would put the water canal at between 390 to 395 feet of elevation at the saddle.

Insure Me Kevin, the website and blog of Kevin Knauss.
The main focus of the website is health insurance, but I've expanded it to include content I've written on hiking, history, business, social media and a variety of other topics.
I help individuals, families and small groups enroll in health insurance plans including Covered California, Small Employer Groups, Medicare Advantage, Supplements and Part D Prescription Drug plans.
You can send me an email or call with a specific question and I'll try to provide a specific answer.

While I try to focus my blogs on information that will provide answers for people who have questions, I know that not everyone absorbs information in the same way.
Consequently, I have started recording some of my blog posts as podcasts.
Below are some of the blogs that I have recorded.
The argument that a person's prerogative to change their gender identity is similar to how we can easily change our political, occupational, or religious identity.
Deductibles for Silver plans 70, 73, and 87 have spiked for 2020 in Covered California, which helps keeps premiums low.

Always refer to your Evidence of Coverage for additional services that may be subject to the deductible.
Several of the carriers also offer off-exchange plans (plans not sold through Covered California).
Some of these plans have slightly different benefit designs than the Covered California standard benefit design and are usually less expensive, but they don't qualify for the subsidies.
Carriers offering off-exchange plans are Anthem Blue Cross, Blue Shield, Chinese Community Health Plan, Health Net, Kaiser, Oscar, and Western Health Advantage.

Possibly more important than the health insurance company an individual or family selects is the quality of the doctors who are in the provider network for the health plan.
Many doctors belong to a medical group that handles much of the administrative work such as setting appointments and billing.
Health insurance companies contact with medical groups to provide their members with health care services.
These medical groups and their doctors are then considered in-network for the health plan.
Part of the selection of a health insurance plan is making sure you've chosen doctors are in-network or who have quality medical groups to choose from.
