Maryland Plan Rates Increase in 2017
It is highly recommended for individuals to spend time shopping around for the best health insurance rates and coverage. With UnitedHealthcare no longer offering health insurance options on the public exchange in Maryland in 2017, many carriers have requested an increase of up to 30%. It is believed this will settle out to be an average of a 15% increase. Many Maryland citizens will not be affected much by the increase due to subsidies. Maryland residents who do not qualify or who have decided to shop off the exchange will see an increase in health insurance rates.
