WA health insurance rates to jump over 10% for 2025
EVERETT — Washingtonians who get their health care coverage on the state’s market will see higher rates next year, the Office of the Insurance Commissioner announced Wednesday.
Each year, the commissioner’s office approves changes to insurance rates. The 11 insurers selling plans in the upcoming health benefit exchange, or the state’s online health insurance market, asked for an 11.3% average increase, according to the commissioner’s office. The office agreed to a 10.7% average.
The price jump will affect 280,000 patients in the upcoming insurance market, according to Fair Health Prices Washington, an affordable health care advocacy group.
Seven of the approved increases impact insurers with plans available to Snohomish County residents. Of those, the largest increase was 22.8% for Regence BlueShield. Molina Healthcare saw the lowest at 5.7%.
