Keeping your Huntington doctors
Marketplace plans in West Virginia are increasingly HMOs tied to one hospital system. The Cigna, Aetna and PHCS PPO PPO networks include most major providers in Cabell County and work in every state — we check your specific doctors before you enroll.
The West Virginia factor
West Virginia's marketplace has very few carriers, so many people see only one or two plan families on HealthCare.gov — which is why a national PPO is the thing buyers ask about first. West Virginia has no state individual mandate.
