Initial 2015 Rate Filings for Health Insurance Exchange Plans Show Potential Double-Digit Increases

The initial crop of premium rate filings for plans sold through the Affordable Care Act's health insurance exchanges in 2015 include a number of double-digit increases stemming from insurers' incomplete enrollee data, increased taxes and a reduction in re-insurance funds. However, only a few insurers have released the initial 2015 rate filings, and the rate hikes have not yet been finalized by state regulators, which means they might decrease substantially before implementation.
