New Obamacare Plans in Florida Show ACA Insurers Are in a Pricing Battle and Aggressively Expanding

MIAMI - October 31, 2019 - ( Newswire.com )

'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹'‹Withˆ the new 2020 Obamacareˆ plans and pricing being released, the new Obamacareˆ marketplace has literally been flippedˆ upside down. Some insurersˆ that had the lowest-priced Obamacareˆ plansˆ areˆ now last in this newˆ 2020 ACA plan pricing battle.ˆ BenaVestˆ aims to keep consumers up to date on the new Obamacareˆ plans and pricing for this upcoming 2020 ACA Open Enrollment and hasˆ created a newˆ website that helps consumers communicate withˆ CMS-certified'‹ˆ  Obamacareˆ agents on demand. These are not government employees, rather, they are Licensed Health Agents that have theˆ experienceˆ to help consumers with the application and are educated on the new Obamacare planˆ options.

This analysis was designed to help consumers get an idea on pricing and which carriers are committedˆ to what counties.ˆ While digesting this information, keep in mind that the order insurers are placed inˆ is purely based on the amount of counties the carrier has qualified plans in and is not based on the pricing.ˆ We do go over pricing in some counties, but the lowest pricing is not considered in the numerical order;ˆ example: positioned Insurer #3ˆ may have better pricing than the #1 positioned Insurer in select counties.ˆ This analysis was based on the quoting of a silver plan for a 40-year-old (silver plans have been the number one utilized metal planˆ on the market, as it is the only metal level that qualifies for cost-share reduction).ˆ Also, keep in mind that ACA (AKAˆ Obamacare) is a moving puzzle and somethings may change byˆ November 1. For accurate quotes, consumers may visitˆ  https://www.benavest.com/obamacare-office-near-me/ ˆ after November 1, once the plans are officially released on the marketplace.

Coming in first is Florida Blue, covering most of the state at 46 counties,ˆ and it may be the front runner in pricing for a number ofˆ counties. They are also the only carrier with no competitionˆ inˆ 35 counties.ˆ They are most likely going toˆ win the pricing battle where there is competition in Lee, Collier, Martin, St. Lucie, Lake countyˆ and many more.ˆ While Florida Blue may be the front runner in most counties, it may not be the front runner in some of the more populated counties that are saturated with ACA insureds.

Coming in second isˆ Ambetter, which was in 26 counties in 2019 and has expanded into fourˆ new counties for 2020 marketplace coverage.ˆ They are most likely going toˆ win the pricing battle in Polk, Brevard, Manatee, Okeechobeeˆ and a few more counties.ˆ  Ambetterˆ is offering members up to $500.00 on a Visa rewards card that they could even use to pay their monthly premium (payment for their plan). They have also expanded their network of doctors and hospitals throughout the state of Florida.

Coming in thirdˆ with 14 counties, Oscar has aggressively expanded into 10 new counties in Florida.ˆ While many ACA Insurersˆ may be aggressive in more counties,ˆ Oscar has taken aim at the heart of ACA by possibly winning the pricingˆ battle in the most ACA consumer saturated market in the country. That's right, Oscar may have the lowest-priced Obamacareˆ plan inˆ Miami -Dade Countyˆ and the lowest-priced Obamacareˆ plan inˆ Broward ˆ County.ˆ Many are calling this new tech-savvy health insurance company "The Google of Health Care" forˆ good reason. Oscar has created an immersible appˆ and concierge team that aims to help insureds stay healthy, keepˆ them up to date on their health care needs, andˆ most importantly, helps them find doctors.ˆ  ˆ 

Coming in fourth would be Bright Health, which just entered into the Florida Market for the first time and has aggressivelyˆ launched into 13 counties. Bright Health is looking to be the front runner in pricing in 11 of the 13 counties.ˆ They areˆ most likely going toˆ winˆ the pricing battle and have the lowest-priced Obamacareˆ plan in Palm Beach, lowest-priced Obamacareˆ plan in Orlando 's Orange County, lowest-priced Obamacareˆ plan in Tampa 's Hillsboroughˆ County, Pasco, Osceola, Duvalˆ and many more.ˆ Bright Health has contracted some of the largest hospitals in the state into their networks and also has a rewards card,ˆ Doctors on Demand, and aˆ technologicallyˆ advanced health care system.

Coming in fifth with 11 counties is Molina. The four expansion counties are Clay, Orange, Pascoˆ and Seminole.ˆ They areˆ most likely going toˆ winˆ some bronze price battles throughout the stateˆ but are not as competitiveˆ in the silver bands.ˆ With their improved financials, they are expected to continue to be a majorˆ carrier for some time in Florida.ˆ ˆ ˆ 

Coming in sixth is Cigna,ˆ who has had off-exchange plans in 16 counties over the past few years and have now re-entered the marketplace, expanding in two counties in the state of Florida, and will most likelyˆ haveˆ Obamacareˆ plans'‹ˆ competitivelyˆ pricedˆ in Palm Beach and Collierˆ County.

With theˆ 2020 Obamacareˆ Open Enrollment Period set to begin Nov. 1, 2019,ˆ the 2020 Obamacareˆ deadlineˆ stands at Dec. 15, 2019, for 2020 coverage, leaving only 45 days to enroll in a qualified plan. Mass amounts of people have piled through the doors of BenaVest'sˆ  Obamacareˆ offices ˆ and found themselves getting in and out with their new plansˆ in just five to 10 minutes, enrolling with theirˆ Obamacareˆ agents.

According to the manager of the company'sˆ Miamiˆ Obamacareˆ office,ˆ Monica Rodriguez, they've adopted the motto of 'œ...we are going to help more people in this shorter time frame, and weˆ know what to expect every year with the marketplace system having its difficulties. We are prepared to stayˆ until 1 a.m. every nightˆ to help everyone get enrolled.'ť
