Vermont Blue Cross seeks 10.8 percent rate hike
Vermont Blue Cross requests a 10.8 percent rate increase for about 200000 Vermonters in its hospitalization plan. Banking and Insurance Commissioner James Guest questions the bid while noting a statutory duty to keep an open mind. The state Health Planning Advisory Council launches a Health Problem Center to survey patient rights implementation in hospitals and nursing homes. Oliver Fifield cites New Hampshire Vermont cross state subsidy links, and the request could raise Blue Cross revenue by 1.8 million and leave a 2.3 million surplus by April.
