[Saturday, September 19, 2009]

 Capital BlueCross has filed for approval revised rates for the hospital benefits component of its nongroup Medicare Supplemental Security Plan H Program. The aggregate rate increase requested is 4.1% for insureds who retained prescription drug coverage, and 12.5% for insureds who chose to eliminate their prescription drug benefits. The average monthly premium increase is $6.26 for insureds who retained prescription drug coverage, and $11.32 for insureds who chose to eliminate their prescription drug benefits. The requested effective date of the revised rates is January 1, 2010. The most recent prior rate revision for this program took effect on January 1, 2009. For insureds who retained prescription drug coverage, the current rate for first eligible issues is $151.42, and the requested rate is $157.67. For insureds who chose to eliminate their prescription drug benefits, the current rate for first eligible issues is $90.77, and the requested rate is $102.08. These rate adjustments would affect approximately 1,717 members, and would produce approximately $172,000 in additional premium annually.
