Blue Cross rate hike opposed at Ohio insurance hearing
The Ohio Department of Insurance heard a 2.4 million request from Blue Cross of Central Ohio for a 25.5 percent rise for 7 930 non group subscribers and 46.7 percent for 16 782 group conversion members. Assistant Attorney General Ronald J. Corn criticized the plan as an open ended rise with no evidence of cost containment. He warned the request would be the second increase in 14 months for nongroup subscribers, with singles and families facing notable price jumps. Howard C. Franze defended cost controls saying savings reach 10.5 million annually despite insurer losses on nongroup plans. Supporters argued new law enables cost influence during care provision.
