Nation's greatest carrier of subsidized health insurance as part of the ACA finishes business in Iowa

The nation's greatest healthcare contributor says it no longer is offering coverage in Iowa under the President's Affordable Health Care Act.

It is news that may be making few confusion for persons signed up for Iowa's new Medicaid system.

In Iowa, the company also offers coverage as part of the state's new Medicaid program.  But that coverage is not impacted by the companies’ departure from Obamacare.

If you are one of about 9,000 Iowans who bought health insurance with UnitedHealthcare through the marketplace, there is no need to worry.  The coverage is good through the end of the year.  A new option should be present when it is time to re-enroll this fall.

UnitedHealthcare says it is lost millions while being part of the Obamacare marketplace.  The company has ended coverage in various other states as well.


About 560,000 Iowan's are enrolled in Medicaid plans offered by 3 companies in Iowa involving UnitedHealthcre.
