Georgia Tonik Plans


Tonik Health
Insurance now offered by Blue Cross & Blue Shield of Georgia!
Tonik
health insurance is designed for the 17 million young and uninsured
throughout Georgia. Tonik plans are unique because the contain not only medical
coverage, but also dental and vision. In 2004 Blue Cross Blue Shield of Georgia
(BCBSGA) launched Tonik to offer a unique health insurance option for Georgians
and hopefully decrease the number of Georgia's uninsured.
While Tonik insurance is available for anyone under the age of 65, typically the
plans are marketed toward 19-30 year olds who are no longer covered by a family
insurance policy. This age group is just beginning their careers and are less
likely to be offered or purchase health insurance through their employers.
GA is offering three Tonik plans with three deductibles: $1500, $3000, and
$5000. All plans are PPO and include medical, pharmacy, dental and vision
coverage. Premiums vary depending on insured's age, medical history and
residence.
M. Connolly, president of BCBSGA says "Tonik is an important product that allows
this growing demographic to purchase coverage on their own terms. We asked
'young invincibles' what they were looking for in a health plan, and we
listened. The end result is Tonik -- a plan that makes it easy to understand the
concepts and terminology associated with health insurance and provides easy
access to a health insurance product they can relate to."
