Legacy Benefits & Insurance Benefits learned today that Anthem Blue Cross will not be participating in the California SHOP Exchange, Covered California.
In June, Covered California eliminated the requirement that Qualified Health Plans wanting to participate in the individual exchange must also apply to participate in the SHOP exchange. Because Anthem is no longer required to participate in SHOP, as a condition of being on the individual exchange and because Anthem already participates in a private small group exchange, Anthem has withdrawn its SHOP application. Anthem will, however, continue to participate in the individual exchange.
We have been informed that there are a variety of reasons that led Anthem to this decision and we will provide you with additional information as it becomes available in the coming weeks/months. Anthem remains fully committed to the off-exchange small group market and believes this decision will allow them to put the necessary attention on their off-exchange small group efforts and individual work.
