The Insurance Exchange is pleased to have played an integral role in the first case sold in North Texas utilizing the new UnitedHealthcare Healthy Texas plans. The overall process took three business days to complete, with the group being issued coverage on the third day following submission. Because there is no medical underwriting to contend with, the average turnaround time is half that of a standard plan selection.
As for a side-by-side rate comparison to a standard UnitedHealthcare plan?
The standard monthly premium without using the Healthy Texas program yielded a premium of $1,801. With Healthy Texas, the group had a 12% decrease in rates, with a monthly premium of $1,587. Discounted rates, not a discounted plan– Healthy Texas at work.
