Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Maine recently filed a request with the Maine Bureau of Insurance (Bureau) to approve rate changes for our Individual health plans, effective January 1, 2024. The average proposed rate change is 14.5%, but Individual plan changes range from 5% to 21.9% depending on members’ age, residence location, and type of plan.
We’ll mail this notice of rate filing letter to members in July. It includes information about why rates are changing and how they can provide feedback directly to the Bureau during a virtual public meeting on August 3, 2023, at 1:30 p.m. ET. Registration is required to attend. Members can also email or mail their comments to the Bureau through August 10, 2023.
The notice refers members to anthem.com/ms/maineratefiling/home.html for 2024 plan and proposed rate details.
Once the Bureau has completed its review and the 2024 rates are final, we’ll notify members about the approved changes before their next renewal.
Please contact your Anthem sales representative for more information.
