The James “Tiger” Morton Catastrophic Illness Commission has provided economic assistance to individuals facing catastrophic illness as required by West Virginia Code §16-5Q. Catastrophic illness means that there is imminent risk of death if assistance is not immediately offered. If the individual has reached the acute phase of a catastrophic illness and has exhausted all other means of assistance, then the fund provides, if funding is available, economic assistance.

West Virginia Small Business Plan

The West Virginia Small Business Plan is working to achieve the goal of more affordable health insurance because it is a partnership among; private sector insurance companies, state government through the West Virginia Public Employees Insurance Agency (PEIA), and physicians and other health care providers. Because of this partnership, health insurance premium rates for qualified small companies are significantly lower.

Each partner plays a significant role in making the West Virginia Small Business Plan work. Insurance companies offering coverage under the Small Business Plan must provide choices that are substantially similar to standard commercially available insurance. This makes it easy to compare rates with, versus without, buying under the Small Business Plan. Each participating carrier designs and manages its own coverage options. These may not be identical across carriers even though all options are under the Small Business Plan.

For questions and additional information, please call the West Virginia Offices of the Insurance Commissioner Consumer Information line at 1-888-879-9842.
