The Connecticut Insurance Department is holding a public hearing on the proposal by Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield to raise premiums for its health plans starting Jan. 1, 2015.
The hearing will be held at 9 a.m., Friday, June 27 at the insurance department’s headquarters at 153 Market St., Hartford. It will take place in room 701, on the building’s 7th floor.
The public hearing will cover proposals for new rates for plans sold on the state’s insurance exchange, Access Health CT, as well as plans sold outside the exchange.
Anthem is seeking to raise rates by an average of 12.5 percent, but the proposed premium changes vary by plan, ranging from a 4.8 percent decrease to a 17.38 percent increase. (Read more about the proposed premium changes by clicking here.)
