Ambetter of Magnolia Inc.

The proposed rate change of 39.0% applies to approximately 142,324 individuals. Ambetter of Magnolia Inc.’s projected administrative expenses for 2026 are $89.76 PMPM. Administrative expense does not include $34.22 for taxes and fees. The historical administrative expenses for 2025 were $73.84 PMPM, which excludes taxes and fees. The projected loss ratio is 84.4% which satisfies the federal minimum loss ratio requirement of 80.0%.

Arizona has around 423,000 residents enrolled in ACA exchange plans, 88% of whom are currently subsidized. I estimate they also have perhaps another ~8,000 unsubsidized off-exchange enrollees.

Combined, that's 5.6% of their total population.

Assuming the national average 6.6% net enrollment attrition rate thru April reported by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services applies to Arizona, however, that would knock the current enrollment down to more like 477,000 statewide.

Aetna Life Insurance Co:

(Aetna/CVS is dropping out of the individual market in all states; I estimate they have around 35,000 enrollees in Kansas who will have to find a different carrier for 2026)

Blue Cross Blue Shield of Kansas City:

Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Kansas City (BCBSKC) is requesting an average rate change of -6.1% for 2025 individual rates as compared to 2023 individual rates and calculated by the URRT. The changes vary by plan, with a minimum rate change of -10.8% and a maximum rate increase of 1.8%.

Table 2.1 summarizes proposed rate increases effective January 1, 2026, and displays significant factors driving the proposed rate increases. Note that this rate buildup is illustrative of changes occurring from 2025 to 2026, and is therefore not reflective of factors displayed in Worksheet 1, Section II of the URRT, which pertains to changes from the experience period (2024) to the projection period (2026). Factors found in The URRT are discussed in later sections.

Delaware has ~53,000 residents enrolled in ACA exchange plans, 91% of whom are currently subsidized. They also have an unknown number enrolled in off-exchange plans. Overall, with net attrition, I estimate current total enrollment is down a bit to perhaps 52,000 today.

Healthy Alliance Life Insurance Co:

Healthy Alliance Life Insurance Company (HALIC) has filed for premium rate changes for its Affordable Care Act (ACA) compliant Individual health insurance plans. This filing includes an average rate change of 21.23%, effective January 1, 2026, with plan prices changing between 18.75% and 24.73%. The price changes will impact about 52,000 people that have HALIC plans now and will keep HALIC plans next year. An insured person’s actual rate increase could be higher or lower depending on their benefit, where they live, how old they are, number of children, and if they use tobacco.

Connecticut has around ~151,000 residents enrolled in ACA exchange plans, 88% of whom are currently subsidized. I estimate they also have another ~7,000 unsubsidized off-exchange enrollees.

Combined, that's 158,000 people, although assuming the national average 6.6% net enrollment attrition rate applies, current enrollment would be back down to more like 150,000 statewide.

Arkansas has around 166,000 residents enrolled in ACA exchange plans, 92% of whom are currently subsidized. I estimate they also have perhaps another ~11,000 unsubsidized off-exchange enrollees.

Combined, that's 5.7% of their total population.

Assuming the national average 6.6% net enrollment attrition rate thru April reported by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services applies to Arkansas, however, that would knock the current enrollment down to more like 477,000 statewide.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services just published updated enrollment data for Medicare, adding April 2025 to the data archive.

Whether the data posted since January 20, 2025 is accurate or not, I can't say for certain, but at least they're updating it...and so far, at least, I don't see anything in their monthly reports which is setting off any obvious red flags.

In any event, according to the latest report, as of April 2025:
