FARGO - Sanford Health has been approved to provide insurance in North Dakota in a decision announced this morning by the state's Insurance Department.
The announcement was made in a news release issued by Sanford Health.
The Insurance Department "has given Sanford Health Plan a certificate of authority to provide health insurance in the state. Local, independent agents will offer Sanford Health Plan to the community once the state of North Dakota approves rates and forms for each product line," the news release says.
In addition, the release says:
"Sanford Health Plan looks forward to this new and long-term relationship with the people and businesses of North Dakota," said Ruth Krystopolski, President of Sanford Health Plan. "We are committed to partnerships that maintain affordable premiums for clients and their employees. We also understand the need to deliver the best patient care while promoting good community health and maintaining cost-effective solutions."
Established in 1998 as a physician-directed health plan, Sanford Health Plan is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sanford Health, which merged with Fargo's MeritCare last year. The non-profit entity currently covers more than 64,000 lives and serves South Dakota, northwest Iowa and southwest Minnesota.
