COMPANIES PARTICIPATING IN TRANSITIONAL RELIEF
In November 2013, a temporary reprieve was announced to permit the renewal of non-grandfathered health insurance plans that would otherwise be modified or terminated as a result of the 2014 market reforms provided for in the Patient Protection and
Affordable Care Act. The South Carolina Department of Insurance worked with carriers to prevent further market disruption and provide guidance to issuers interested in participating in this transitional relief policy.

As a result of this action, 11 carriers with non-grandfathered policies covering 143,000 individuals in South Carolina elected to participate in transitional relief. Below is a
listing of companies (including phone numbers for consumer inquiries) that have elected to participate in the transitional relief plan and, thus, will offer individual and/or small group policyholders the opportunity to renew their non-grandfathered health
plan for an additional year. Pursuant to federal requirements, this offer is only applicable to non-grandfathered health plans that were in effect as of October 1, 2013 and that are renewed between January 1 and October 1, 2014.
Tips for Consumers: Participating carriers are required to provide notice to policyholders of the opportunity to renew their coverage under this transitional policy, so consumers should expect to hear directly from their carrier if they are offering renewal
of non-grandfathered plans.

Consumers are encouraged to contact their carrier with questions regarding whether they may continue their existing coverage. The Department’s Office of Consumer Services may be reached at 1 (800) 768-3467 for
assistance.
