Deadline Approaching For InHealth Mutual Customers To Get New Coverage

Thousands of Ohioans have sought new health insurance this summer as their financially troubled carrier winds down operations. State regulators took over the suburban Columbus-based InHealth Mutual in late May after a financial review showed the company's losses would prevent it from paying future claims. The insurance co-op provided policies to nearly 22 thousand people, mostly in central Ohio, who may now end up paying more for coverage. Such co-ops were created under the Affordable Care Act.   Officials say most InHealth customers have switched plans. But they likely will have to satisfy new deductibles, even if they met their previous ones. Customers still covered by InHealth have until August 29 to switch insurers through the federal marketplace.
