Some Central New Yorkers covered by group and individual health insurance plans will see double-digit increases in their premiums next year, in line with increases approved by the state, reports Syracuse.

The State Department of Financial Services announced on August 17 that it has approved rate increases ranging from 0,5% to 16,5% in the individual market and rate increases from 6% to 13,6% in the small group market for statewide health insurance.

Insurers asked to increase rates by an average of 18,7% in the individual market, but the state reduced it to 9,7%. Insurers in the small group market asked for an average rate increase of 16,5%, and the government lowered it to 7,9%.

The increase, which the state blamed on rising health care and drug costs, comes into effect on January 1, 2023.
