Many Bay Area Small Businesses Renewing Health Policies Early To Avoid Certain ACA Restrictions Until 2015
Many Bay Area small businesses are renewing health insurance policies early to delay certain restrictions under the Affordable Care Act until January 2015. Since August, some California-based health insurers have offered their small business customers an early renewal opportunity, which would allow them to avoid expected rate increases taking effect in 2014 and maintain age-based rates.
