July 1, 2010 — Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts today announced that third quarter rates for certain PPO products affecting a small number of members in the individual and small group market are approved by the Division of Insurance (DOI). The DOI has requested we share additional information on remaining plans before it renders a decision. We are currently reviewing that request.
Our goal in this process with the Division of Insurance is to achieve premium rates to cover the cost of the benefits in these plans.
Ultimately, we are committed to working with other stakeholders to achieve a rational, meaningful, sustainable solution to the problem of rising health care costs.
