Covered California Announces
2023 Health Plan Rates:
Lower Than National Average Amid Uncertain
Future of American Rescue Plan Benefits
|
|
Quick Information on the 2023 Plans and Preliminary Rates
-
Covered California announced that the preliminary average statewide rate change for the 2023 individual market will be 6%, due in part to the return of normal medical trends that existed prior to the COVID-19 pandemic and the uncertain future of the American Rescue Plan.
- This year's rate change is below the national average thanks to record high enrollment over the past few years. The rate change for the past four years, which includes record-low rate changes in 2020 and 2021, is an average of just 2.3%.
- While the 6% rate increase reflects the statewide average, the circumstances for individual consumers will vary in 2023 given their own individual circumstances and regional rate variations.
- A 13th carrier, Aetna CVS Health, will join Covered California in 2023, and Anthem Blue Cross will expand to become the second carrier to offer statewide coverage.
-
Beginning in October, Covered California consumers will be able to visit the CoveredCA.com website and enter their personal information into the Shop and Compare estimate tool to learn about their estimated program eligibility, financial assistance, and monthly premium for 2023.
