Health Insurance Exchange

NYS Approves Health Insurance Exchange Rates.

Governor Cuomo announced  yesterday that New York’s Health Benefits Exchange have been approved . Additionally, the New York Times yesterday published an article highlighting that the rates in the individual market that will be offered in 2014 are at least 50 percent lower than they are now.  The article link and Governor’s office press release are included below.

5 things we now know about the NYS Exchanges:

  • Importantly,  Insurers must still confirm that they will be in either the individual exchange and/ or shop exchange
  • The rates approved yesterday are subject to final certification of the insurers’ participation in the exchange.
  • Many of the networks used on the Exchange appear to be smaller than the group rated.
  • Some new insurers have eneter the marketplace such as OSCAR and Freelancers.  While a few such as EmblemHealth have taken a wait and see approach.
  •  Additionally,  NYS  individual market rate will drop significantly in 2014 but they have been historically always the highest.  An individual/Direct Pay  HMO is approximately $1,000-$1,200/month. They are still approximately 18% highest.

The Department of Financial Services (DFS) has approved  New York’s Health Health Insurance Exchange  rates for 17 insurers seeking to offer coverage including eight new entrants into the market that do not currently offer commercial health insurance plans.  Please click the following links for the Governor’s Press Release and the Individual and Small Group rates.
