Cecil County residents enrolled in one of Maryland’s Health Benefits Exchange health insurance plans will see their premium rise by 6.6% in 2023, but officials with the Maryland Insurance Administration point out that is below the 8.3% rate of inflation.
Kathleen Birrane, Insurance Commissioner, also tied the increase to the rising cost of health care.
“The reinsurance program continues to do its job,” Birrane said. “The 2023 rate changes are tied to increasing claim costs and projections as to what those costs are likely to be in 2023, given claim cost trends. Inflation, increased unit costs for services, increased utilization, and the on-going uncertainty of COVID-related costs, are all significant factors influencing rates. Nonetheless, we have been able to keep rates below inflationary trends thanks to the reinsurance program.”
