The Division has available resources to help consumers make more informed decisions, such as NVinsurance101.com, an educational website aimed to provide Nevadans with timely information about their health insurance decisions.
Our Rate Wizard Tool is the “go to” source for viewing and comparing all the plans with their cost, benefits, drug / doctor access and much more. We are pleased to announce that this tool is now available in Spanish at http://healthrates.doi.nv.gov/Wizard_sp.aspx. The rates are displayed by age, county, and are for non-smokers.
The search results are displayed and then sortable by plan name, carrier name, metal tier, and whether it is offered on or off the Exchange. This allows the search to be filtered for quick focused results.
There are 10 insurance companies offering a total of 124 plans in the individual market on and off the Exchange. The average approved rate change off the Exchange is 10.73 percent and on Exchange is 10.43 percent.
