Like most states that use HealthCare.gov, enrollment in Virginia’s exchange peaked in 2016 and began to decline after that.
There were ten insurers offering plans in the Virginia exchange for 2017.
The Virginia Bureau of Insurance clarifies several questions about the new law in an administrative letter published in June 2018.
The legislation, sponsored by Senator Creigh Deeds (D, 25th District), allows self-employed people, including a sole member of an LLC or a sole shareholder of a corporation, to be considered “small employers” and thus purchase coverage in the small group market, as of July 2018.
Medicaid expansion took effect in January 2019; nearly 597,000 people have gained coverage as a result.
Five of the nine insurers in Virginia’s marketplace decreased their average premiums for 2020, and the overall average rate change across all the insurers amounted to a decrease of 5%.
So of the four insurers that hold nearly all of the market share, three reduced their premiums for 2020 (in Optima’s case, the reduction was more than 20 percent), and one implemented a very slight increase.
But Virginia joined four other states (Arkansas, Kentucky, Oregon, New Mexico, and Maine) that had an SBE-FP model for 2021.
Virginia continued to have nine insurers offering individual market coverage in the exchange in 2021, but the specifics changed a bit: Optimum Choice entered Virginia’s marketplace for 2021, with plans available in the Washington, Arlington, Alexandria, and Winchester areas.
As of 2021, Virginia has a state-based marketplace, but still uses HealthCare.gov’s call center and enrollment platform.
Enrollment in private exchange plans dropped to about 262,000 as of 2021, but enrollment in the state’s expanded Medicaid has continued to grow.
For 2022 coverage, health plans are available in Virginia’s exchange from the following insurers, with coverage areas that vary by insurer:
For the third year in a row, average pre-subsidy premiums in Virginia’s individual market decreased for 2022.
