Every year, Rhode Island health insurers propose premium increases for the small and large group markets. OHIC reviews these proposals, taking into account past company performance, market trends and, importantly, key benchmarks from around our region. OHIC commissioned Wakely Consulting Group to analyze certain metrics, allowing OHIC to assess the reasonability of submissions from RI’s health insurers.
