Insurance companies
ask for smaller
increase in 2020 rates
BEND (AP) — Health
insurers in Oregon con-
tinue to request smaller
annual increases in health
insurance rates from year
to year and are expanding
into new service areas —
both signs the market is
stabilizing.
The Bulletin reports
that Oregon Insurance
Commissioner
Andrew
Stolfi on Tuesday released
the rates Oregon insur-
ance companies requested
for plans sold to individu-
als and businesses with 50
or fewer employees. The
rates do not apply to most
Oregonians who are cov-
ered by large employer
sponsored plans or public
plans such as Medicare or
Medicaid.
Seven
insurers
requested 2020 premium
changes ranging from a
3.2% decrease to a 13.5%
increase from 2019 rates.
Premiums increased by
23% in 2016 and 27% in
2017, followed by increases
of 13% in 2018 and 7% in
2019. The requested rates
for 2020, which are likely
to be adjusted by the
state, represent an average
increase of 3.3%.
No insurer pulled out
of any of the counties in
which they offered plans
in 2019, and four plans
are entering new services
areas in 2020. Bridge
Span Health and Regence
are both expanding into
Deschutes County, bring-
ing the total number of
plans serving Central Ore-
gon to six.
