How insurance coverage was saved for rural Nevada counties

Fourteen rural Nevada counties will have an insurance carrier through the state exchange in 2018, ending a period of uncertainty about coverage.

Gov. Brian Sandoval announced that the 2018 carrier for rural counties will be SilverSummit, a subsidiary of Centene.

SilverSummit has never provided insurance through the Silver State Health Insurance Exchange, which provides coverage through the Affordable Care Act.

State officials began scrambling this summer to find coverage for the counties after both carriers dropped coverage, citing market uncertainties.

Having no carrier in 2018 would have impacted more than 8,000 rural Nevadans.
