Healthfirst 2022 Rate Filings

See below from Healthfirst

Healthfirst has submitted a rate change request to the New York State Department of Financial Services (DFS) to modify premium rates for its new and renewing Small Group products effective January 1, 2022.

  • The requested rate increase for New York City is 14.0%.
  • The requested rate increase for Long Island is 16.2%.

New York State law requires that groups and members be notified when carriers submit a premium rate change request to the DFS and that the proposed rate change be explained. We have made this explanation available online.

The following notices of the proposed premium rate change will be mailed to Small Group policyholders (employers) and policy certificate holders (employees):

• Healthfirst Pro/Pro Plus EPO group policyholder (employer) notice

• Healthfirst Pro/Pro Plus EPO group policy certificate holder (employee) notice

Please note that final, approved rates may differ from proposed rates due to modifications by the DFS.

• DFS Rate Action 2022
