Industry looks to Congress for MLR fix after ‘disappointing’ HHS final rule

Published Updated 4 Min Read

The leading industry trade organizations expressed disappointment after the December 2 Department of Health and Human Services release of the final medical loss ratio rule failed to remove broker commissions from the administrative side of health reform’s MLR calculation.

In a statement, the National Association of Health Underwriters says, “HHS did nothing to mitigate the adverse effects the MLR rule is currently having on the ability of insurance producers to serve the demands and needs of health care consumers.”
