Nickel asks for flexibility on medical loss ratio requirement
Insurance commissioner Ted Nickel sent a letter to U.S. health secretary Kathleen Sebelius Tuesday asking for a three-year phase-in of the federal health reform’s medical loss ratio requirement for the individual market. The law requires that insurers in the individual market spend at least 80 percent of their premium revenue on member claims. (WHN, 10/27)
