[OPLINLIST] Ohio Department of Insurance - High Risk Pool information

[Marsha McDevitt-Stredney]

Please excuse multiple postings...

The Ohio Department of Insurance is asking for our help in their
outreach efforts to help eligible Ohioans apply for the High Risk Pool.
According to their website, "the Ohio High Risk Pool is designed to give
uninsured Ohioans with pre-existing conditions access to quality health
insurance. With two affordable plan choices, responsive local customer
service and access to the largest network of doctors and hospitals in
the state, the Ohio High Risk Pool gives you the coverage you need-right
now." 

I have added the following content, provided by the Ohio Department of
Insurance, to the Health and Wellness section of Find Help in Tough
Times <http://library.ohio.gov/toughtimes/health> .

The Temporary High Risk Pool is a federally subsidized health plan,
authorized under the Affordable Care Act, which makes coverage for
individuals with pre-existing conditions more affordable. The Ohio
Department of Insurance chose Medical Mutual of Ohio to administer the
program. In their proposal, Medical Mutual estimated that with the
available funding they can cover more than 5,000 Ohioans through the
duration of the program, with individuals paying a standard rate premium
for their coverage.
