Healthcare DIVE July 10, 2017
Dive Brief:
- A new Kaiser Family Foundation (KFF) report that reviewed Q1 insurance company financial data found that the individual health insurance market is stabilizing and insurers are regaining profitability.
- The individual market’s risk pool is stable and not getting sicker, which KFF said shows that healthy Americans are not fleeing the market. Though the market may be stabilizing, KFF said there are still “more fragile” parts of the country and that policy uncertainty coming from Washington could destabilize the market.
- Meanwhile, the CMS announced on Monday that the number of payers who applied to take part in the health insurance exchanges for 2018 dropped by 38% compared to 2017. Rates will be finalized in mid-August.
