The latest actuarial report projects health insurance costs will increase by approximately 9.3 percent each year, however, the state Health Insurance Fund is projected to support a portion of the increase due to lower participant utilization. The actuarially determined rates for the state's self-insured plans assume an increase of 6.3 percent the first year and an additional 4.0 percent the second year. The rates for the state's two fully insured plans, Kaiser Permanente and Optima Health, are funded at the estimated contractually determined rates. |
