Driven largely by rising medical costs, health insurance premiums are expected to rise next year for many U.S. workers.

Not so for Georgia teachers and state employees.

Their 2019 premiums, deductibles, copays and co-insurance will remain the same as this year in the State Health Benefit Plan (SHBP), Geogia’s Department of Community Health said Thursday. The same benefit offerings – from HMO through high-deductible health plan – will also be the same.
