Changes to Rates & Discounts
1. Area Rating Area rating changes are coming in Alabama, California, Florida, Georgia, Michigan and New Mexico, and affect new and current insured members.1 With area rating, all insureds in the same rate class, in the same area, pay the same rate (excludes discounts and surcharges). This means rates within a state will vary by geographic region, identified by zip code.
2. Enrollment Discount: Exciting news for New Mexico!2 A change to the state’s rating structure is coming, bringing an improved enrollment discount and extended discount duration. Read about the increased enrollment discount and duration.
3. Multi-Insured Discount: The multi-insured discount (MID) is being introduced in Florida! Plus, the MID is increasing in Alabama, Georgia and Maryland. These changes affect new and current insured members.3 The discount is off of the standard premium rate so the impact of the MID is even greater for applicants eligible for other discounts!

2For New Mexico, the Enrollment Discount is coming for plan effective dates of June 1, 2023, and later.
