Health Insurance Rate Filing Notices Now Available By E-Mail
Commissioner Poizner announced today that consumers can now be notified via e-mail when new health insurance rate filings for the individual market are made.
“We want as many people as possible scouring these rate filings to ensure they are mistake-free,” said Commissioner Poizner. “The e-mail notification tool will expand access to these documents by informing the public of when there are new filings to peruse. This additional analysis, in conjunction with scrutiny by the Department of Insurance’s in house actuaries and independent actuaries retained by the Department, will help ensure that consumers are protected and insurers are spending 70 percent of premiums on medical benefits, as required by state law.”
To sign up, consumers should visit http://www.insurance.ca.gov/email-updates/ and select which of the Department of Insurance’s updates they would like to receive.
