Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan has tentatively agreed to raise rates..... by an average of 22 percent
"Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan has tentatively agreed to raise rates for nearly 200,000 of its health insurance customers by an average of 22 percent, a significantly lower rate increase than originally sought.
The agreement reached Thursday with Attorney General Mike Cox is subject to approval by state regulators before it could take effect.
The agreement covers ate increases for Blue Cross customers who have non-group and group conversion policies. Those policies typically are bought by people under age 65 not covered by employer-based or government plans.
Blue Cross originally requested to raise those rates 42 percent to 56 percent earlier this year."
