Information About Our Proposed 2023 Rates

Starting August 2022, we are releasing notices to our Large Group plan members and customers about our rate proposals for plans renewing in 2023.

Starting June 2022, we are releasing notices to our Individual and Small Group plan members and customers about our rate proposals for plans renewing in 2023. The New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS) may approve, modify or deny these proposed adjustments. We will notify all impacted subscribers and groups of their final, approved rate at least 60 days before their renewal date.

Why do we need to increase premiums?
We increase premiums due to the rise in the cost of medical care, including the costs of hospital stays, prescription drugs, and other health services. Most of your premium goes toward paying for medical and pharmacy claims for members. In fact, New York State requires that at least 82% of the premium you pay directly covers member medical costs. As the cost and use of pharmacy drugs and medical services go up, so does the cost of medical care we must pay for. We expect that medical and pharmacy costs will continue to go up, on average, by 12% in 2022 and 2023.

Contact us or DFS for additional information. Employer groups or brokers should contact their account manager or call Broker Services at 866-614-6040 (TTY: 711). Our hours are 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Monday to Friday. You may also submit your comments to DFS within 30 days of the date printed on the letter you receive from us. Please see your letter for details on how to submit your comments or questions. To find out more about our rate filings, please click on the narratives below:
