New York state authorities say three other insurers have agreed to automatically enroll individuals covered by Health Republic Insurance of New York as it shuts down.
Authorities say that the three insurers, that collectively cover the whole state, have agreed to credit any deductible and out-of-pocket amounts that consumers have already paid through their Health Republic coverage during 2015.
The Department of Financial Services and Department of Health say about 100,000 individual members in the cooperative can select a new insurance plan for the rest of this year through the state Health Exchange by November 30th.
Those who haven't done so will be automatically enrolled with another insurer.
