West Virginia HRP

The West Virginia high-risk pool, known as AccessWV [1], became operational in 2005. The program is financed through premiums and an assessment on hospitals. The premium cap is not less than 125 percent of the standard individual risk rates for comparable coverage, but shall not exceed 150 percent.   At the end of June 2006, over 200 individuals were receiving coverage through the pool.

The State Coverage Initiatives program has ended as of February 2016.
