Anthem launches new health plan options for individuals in Wisconsin

By Jim Butman

In an attempt to serve a growing market of Wisconsinites looking for less expensive options for basic individual health care coverage, Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Wisconsin today introduced new CoreShare and enhanced SmartSense and Premier individual plans that will provide Wisconsinites with lower-cost options.

The plans are designed to appeal to the self-employed, to people between jobs, to people who have no health benefits at work or to people who want to retire early.

"CoreShare is a simple plan design with some of our lowest rates, with premiums ranging from as little as $45 to $104 per month for a healthy 25-year old male in the Milwaukee area," said Larry Schreiber, president of Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Wisconsin. "CoreShare is for consumers who want a traditional plan but at a lower cost. With a vast range of deductibles and higher cost-sharing, CoreShare helps lower monthly premiums. It provides full major medical coverage, while giving out-of-pocket protection, and protection against unexpected health care costs."

CoreShare offers a range of deductibles and coinsurance levels. The lower deductible levels have 50 percent coinsurance, while the higher deductibles pay 100 percent of the charges once the deductible has been met.
