FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – March 3, 2022
Nevada Division of
Insurance and the Silver State Health Insurance Exchange Encourage Salvasen
Health consumers to act soon to enroll in a new plan.
Carson City, NV - The Nevada Division of Insurance and the
Silver State Health Insurance Exchange, the state agency responsible for
connecting Nevadans to qualified health plans through the online health
insurance marketplace, Nevada Health Link, are notifying Nevada residents that
products/plans offered through Salvasen Health and Triada are terminating as of
March 31, 2022.
Salvasen Health is not authorized to
sell health insurance or health plans in the state of Nevada. In order to
obtain comprehensive coverage starting on April 1, 2022, consumers currently
covered by a Salvasen Health product must enroll in a new plan. However, you do
not need to wait, and it is recommended that you act as soon as possible to
secure appropriate coverage.
YOU HAVE TWO WAYS TO IDENTIFY COMPREHENSIVE
INSURED HEALTH PLANS AND ENROLL:
- Contact Nevada Health Link,
the state’s online health insurance marketplace, to enroll in a
comprehensive health plan or to learn about eligibility options . You can
contact Nevada Health Link by calling 1-800-547-2927 or by visiting their
website at https://www.nevadahealthlink.com/qualify/.
- The Silver State Health Insurance Exchange has Special
Enrollment Period options available for you due to the termination of
your Salvasen product, meaning you will be able to access a new plan
outside of the regular Open Enrollment Period. Enrollment in a Nevada
Health Link plan must be completed by the 15th of the month
for the plan to be effective the following month.
- To access the Special Enrollment Period, you must call
the Nevada Health Link at the above number and let the representative
know that you were enrolled in a Salvasen plan.
- Most people who enroll in health coverage through
Nevada Health Link qualify for financial assistance to pay for their coverage.
If you or someone in your family appears to qualify for government health
coverage programs such as Medicaid or
Nevada Check Up, Nevada
Health Link will alert you during the screening process and direct you to
the right place to enroll in those programs if you wish.
- Purchase a plan directly from a
licensed insurance company in Nevada. The Nevada
Division of Insurance website provides a tool to help you
compare health insurance rates and find health insurance policies not available
through the Exchange for families that do not qualify for subsidies. The tool
can be found at: https://doi.nv.gov/Health_Insurance_Rates/Rate_Review/.
Claims for eligible services provided to you
through your termination will be processed according to the provisions of your
product documents. All claims must be submitted within 90 days of the 3/31/2022
termination date.
If you have any questions regarding your
existing product or regarding the termination of this product, or if you need
assistance with claims, please contact Salvasen Health at 877-707-1442.
Consumers with questions or concerns may also
contact the Division of Insurance's Consumer Service Unit at (702) 486-4009.
