Startup Insurers Face High Risk-Adjustment Payouts for 2022 Benefit Year
Participants in the Affordable Care Act risk adjustment program will pay a record $9.24 billion for the 2022 benefit year, according to CMS. Among the 608 issuers that participated in the program, startup insurers owe the highest amounts of payouts, while a handful Blue Cross Blue Shield companies are slated to receive significant payments.
The ACA’s risk adjustment program, launched in 2014, transfers funds from insurers that cover lower-risk enrollees to insurers that cover higher-cost and higher-risk populations in the individual and small group health insurance markets.
