Ah, at last, another state which includes both the average requested rate changes for 2024 as well as the number of enrollees each carrier has for both the individual and small group markets in clear, transparent language!
Generally, according to NC Insurance laws, health insurance rates must not be excessive, inadequate, or unfairly discriminatory, and must exhibit a reasonable relationship to the benefits provided in the policy.
Overall, individual market carriers in North Carolina are requesting 7% rate increases in 2025 for unsubsidized policies, while small group market carriers are asking for a 6.5% bump. It's worth noting that one of the three (!) UnitedHealthcare divisions is pulling out of the NC small group market next year for whatever reason.

Today’s action is expected to improve access to culturally appropriate health care and improve the quality of care and health outcomes for tribal communities in Arizona, California, New Mexico, and Oregon, and will support IHS, Tribal, and UIO facilities in serving their patients.
