Jay Angoff, HHS director of consumer information and insurance oversight, wrote: "Consumers Connecticut expect and deserve transparency and justification on the facts as to why their rates rise. "
Yet the Anthem rate increases are new individual health insurance policies and non-current insured individual or group plans according to current .
While the HHS recently donated $ 1 million to help states improve their monitoring increases Medicare rates, the Connecticut insurance Department has not received this funding. the Department of insurance Connecticut said it will post rates on its web sites and make the review process more transparent tariffs for residents once it receives funding.
the Thomas Sullivan defended the Insurance Commissioner Connecticut department 's decision to approve the rate increases in a letter to Jay Angoff. By providing an example, Sullivan explained that an Anthem plan with an annual limit of $ 500 for drugs was increased to $ 750,000 due to the reform of health care. This change resulted in the state rate to increase by 23 percent.
anyway, it seems that the rate requests will be reviewed and approved again by both the Connecticut Insurance Department and HHS.
