Public Forums For Insurance Exchange Program
WEST VIRGINIA....
A public forum is set for Tuesday to discuss insurance changes. West Virginia officials are researching how to set up the state’s insurance exchange program which must be in place by July 1, 2014. Public forums are scheduled across the state this month and next to get input on what the exchange should look like and how it should operate. The goal of the exchange is to ensure that the maximum number of folks can afford the coverage. In an exchange, insurance companies have to follow certain rules in order to offer health plans to consumers. Consumers' costs depend a lot on what kind of exchange the state creates. The public can weigh in on this and other issues by submitting written comments to the Offices of Insurance Commissioner or by attending one of its forums.
