Starting in 2025, some Ambetter Health Premier plans (formerly the Ambetter Health Bronze|Silver|Gold network) in Florida and Tennessee will provide members managing diabetes with additional healthcare options and savings. Members of these plans will have lower out of pocket costs for certain medications, supplies and clinical support. Members in these plans may have access to $0 copays for preferred insulin and select medications used to manage diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and mental health. These plans also include $0 copays on certain diabetic supplies and labs such as lancets, glucose test strips, ketone and urine test strips, insulin syringes, pen needles as well as routine A1c labs. - Ambetter Health Solutions
Starting in 2025, Ambetter Health is introducing a new product, Ambetter Health Solutions, which is designed for individuals purchasing Marketplace coverage through an ICHRA (Individual Coverage Health Reimbursement Arrangement). This product will be available in South Carolina, Indiana, Mississippi, Ohio, Georgia, and Missouri, and will provide access to high quality providers with an additional benefit of acupuncture coverage. ICHRA allows employers of all sizes to directly reimburse employees for individual health insurance premiums and qualifying medical expenses tax free, while allowing employees greater choice to shop and enroll in whatever available plan works best for them and receive reimbursements for coverage.
