Good afternoon world!

I want to update a previous post and let every individual Anthem Blue Cross policy holder know they will not be experiencing the rate increase proposed earlier in March. Per the CA Department of Insurance, Anthem Blue Cross had 2 math errors in calculating the new rates.

This is great news for Californians!

Good morning world!

As many of you might know, Anthem Blue Cross filed a rate increase effecting individual policy holders in the state of California. This was originally going to take effect March 1st of 2010.  Since then the California Department of Insurance has stepped in to have Anthem Blue Cross justify their high rate increase. The California Department of Insurance will be hiring an independent actuary to review the requested rates.

The good news is the original rate increase will be delayed until May 1st, 2010 due to the audit. This will allow plenty of time to make plan changes or shop around. For more information please contact me or see the California Department of Insurance for the latest news and updates.

Have a great week!

Hello world!

I was born in San Luis Obispo, and I joined Van Beurden in 2003. I started out in personal lines, but once I discovered employee benefits and learned how to save businesses money – the rest is history.

Happy New Year 2010, and thanks for reading my first blog post. We plan to update these soon.
