Memorial Hermann Health Plan Update

HOUSTON (June29, 2017)

Memorial Hermann Health Plan will no longer sell insurance plans to individuals. For those individuals who recently purchased an individual plan from Memorial Hermann’s health insurance company, they will continue to be covered until Dec. 31. They will, however, need to find a new insurance plan beginning Jan. 1.

Memorial Hermann Health Plan will continue to sell Medicare Advantage plans and offer health insurance policies for small and large group businesses who are interested in purchasing coverage for their employees. In addition, the Health Plan will continue to provide health insurance coverage for each of Memorial Hermann’s 25,000 employees and their dependents.

Approximately 8,000 individuals purchased insurance plans through Memorial Hermann. Only this limited number of individuals were impacted. If you did not purchase an insurance plan from Memorial Hermann through the individual insurance plan market, you are not affected.

This decision does not impact the insurance plans that Memorial Hermann hospitals, facilities and affiliated physicians currently accept.

The news announced only impacts approximately 8,000 individuals who purchased individual health insurance through Memorial Hermann’s insurance company this year.
