Grandmothered Plans Extended Until Further Notice

Grandmothered Plans Extended Until Further Notice
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced a permanent extension to the transition policy known as “grandmothered plans” for individual health insurance plans. These plans will no longer require an extension mid-year as in the past.

This means Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Arizona members may keep their grandmothered plans and premiums will stay the same through April 30, 2023 unless the member has an age rate change. Annual renewal letters will still be sent to subscribers in February 2023.
