We Agreed to a Long-Term Contract with the State of Illinois

We’re pleased to confirm that we have been awarded a long-term contract with the State of Illinois under the RFP for Supplemental Fully Insured Downstate HMOs to provide coverage for state enrollees and their families.

The initial term of the contract runs from February 1, 2013, through June 30, 2016, with the 5 potential one-year renewals. This matches the long-term HMO contract awarded to Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Illinois. Additionally, the procurement notice also awarded us all 4 regions included in the bid.

We have provided Midwesterners with excellent health coverage for more than 30 years, and will continue to serve our members for years to come. Currently, the State is identifying a portion of members on the State’s self-funded plan who will have a Special Enrollment Period. The State expects to notify these members of their options by mid-December 2012. Details are still unfolding, and we will share information as it becomes available.
