Scott & White Health Plan (SWHP) will pull out of the federal health care marketplace in 2017, the health insurer announced Wednesday, Aug. 17, and by today, Aug. 30, letters about options should be in the hands of those insured.
The Temple-based company announced it would continue to offer selected bronze off-marketplace HMO individual and family plans, and that the Insurance Company of Scott and White (ICSW) will offer selected bronze off-marketplace PPO plans.
However, neither SWHP or ICSW will offer gold, silver and selected bronze benefit marketplace plans in what is commonly referred to as “Obamacare.”
