Cost Relief Available With Mid-Year Plan Changes For Groups

Excellus BCBS wants to ensure as many of our group members as possible can maintain their health insurance benefits. Through June 1, 2020, we are allowing mid-year plan changes to allow for lower cost employer and employee plans to accommodate the COVID-19 impacts on both parties. 

Groups can:  

  • Allow their employees to switch to a lower cost existing plan

    OR 
     
  • Buy down to a lower cost plan 

Additionally, employees who waived coverage and now want health insurance will be able to sign up for a plan through their group during our special open enrollment throughout the state of emergency. 

Contact your broker or account representative if you would like to take advantage of any of these options or for more information on how we can help.
