We’ve introduced you to the Cover Florida Health Care Access Act and the two plans that we began offering Jan. 1st. With an emphasis on preventive health care, inpatient hospital, urgent and emergency services, these plans give nearly four million of Florida’s uninsured better access to health care they can afford.

Plan 1, Cover Florida Non-Catastrophic Coverage, is an upgraded service patterned after our GoBlue product. Plan 2, Cover Florida Catastrophic Coverage combines hospital/surgical and indemnity coverage, and may be a primary source for individuals with existing health conditions. To be eligible, members must be:

• between 19 and 64 years old;
• uninsured for six months (unless certain conditions are met);
• ineligible for government programs; and
• not covered by a private policy.

These plans may be an alternative option for individuals that have been declined by normal underwriting channels. Details of all Cover Florida plans will soon be on our website, www.bcbsfl.com, and http://coverfloridahealthcare.com. Other sales channels include agents who currently sell our individual policies, FloridaBlue stores or by calling 1-877-872-6580.

Our limited benefit health plans under Cover Florida offer a new solution to Floridians looking for affordable health coverage.
