"About 3,000 Virginians who have health insurance through UniCare, a private insurer, will lose that coverage Jan. 1, a UniCare spokesman said Monday. Most live in Northern Virginia and get their coverage through the individual market, officials said.

The termination will affect only health insurance. UniCare life, dental, vision, disability and Medicare coverage will not be affected."

UniCare to drop about 3,000 Virginians from health insurance plans
 
Unicare pulled out of Illinois and Texas on January 1st of this year (2010). All of their customers were transferred over to Blue Cross of Illinois/Texas at the same premium.

No complaints from these customers for a few months and then BCBS started increasing the premiums up to what is "normal" for existing BCBS customers. Our telemarketing department is now getting a bunch of leads from these BCBS insureds. An across-the-board increase of 13% is supposed to kick in for all BCBS-IL customers on 8/1/10, just a few days from now.
