Individual Health Insurance Premium Increases?
If I have an individual health plan which costs about $150 month, then for some reason I become seriously ill, can my insurance company raise my premium? If so, how much? Is there any kind of legal limitation?

This all depends on the renewability status of your health insurance policy. In many policies, the insurance company reserves the right to adjust your premiums at various times, such as a birthday. If this is the case, somewhere in your policy it will say that the insurance company reserves the right to adjust the premiums.

To be more specific on renewability status, if your policy is noncancellable, then the insurance company can not cancel your policy nor can they increase your premiums. If your policy is guaranteed renewable, then the insurance company can increase the policy premium on the policy anniversary date. In a conditionally renewable policy, the insurance company may cancel the policy, but only for reasons specified in the contract and they may also increase the premiums.

I do know that if an adverse health condition exists at the time the policy is issued, coverage for that condition will not be afforded for 2 years.

Long story short, the best advice I can give is to closely examine your policy to determine the renewability conditions and to check for a statement about when and under what conditions the insurance company can adjust your premiums.

I hope I was helpful to you.

I wish there was a legal limit. Every year they raise our rates and almost every birthday too. We are paying more for medical insurance then for housing now. We will be paying almost $30,000.00 this year for a family of three. That is monthly medical insurance with our co-pays too. We can not afford to retire.


sig
No it is illegal for an insurance company to raise your rates due to claims. They must raise everyone in a certain age, bracket, etc. They all go up. Be careful switching companies. If you do make sure your new policy is in force before cancelling the current one. Read, read, read.....make sure what you are getting. Typical rate increases are 8-15%. If you are in good health shop around about 3-4 years.

No, you don't get an increase for putting in claims on health insurance. The only time your rates will increase, is if 1. you move to another age bracket, then you get the rate for the new age bracket, or 2. the WHOLE age bracket gets a rate increase.
