Insurer pulls out of 14 Nevada counties, including Carson City

Anthem, one of the nation's major providers of health insurance, has decided it will no longer offer qualified health plans in Nevada except in Clark, Washoe and Nye counties.

The company notified the Silver State Health Insurance Exchange it was cutting coverage in Carson City, Douglas County and Nevada's other 12 counties beginning in 2018.

That means people who currently purchase health insurance on the exchange but live outside those three counties will no longer have access to any Qualified Health Plans or access to their federal subsidies.

Gov. Brian Sandoval said his administration will work to find solutions to ensure there's at least a safety net for rural Nevadans who will have no coverage options.
