OLYMPIA, Wash. — The Washington Office of the Insurance Commissioner announced Tuesday that 13 health insurance companies have requested an average rate change of 22.4% for 2027.
More than 280,000 people in Washington do not have health insurance through an employer and are left to purchase it themselves.
“I know the requested rate changes will be difficult for individuals and families,” said Insurance Commissioner Patty Kuderer. “We’re going to spend the next several months reviewing every assumption made by the insurers to make sure their requests are justified.”
The Office of the Insurance Commissioner is currently reviewing the requested changes and will complete its review in September, before open enrollment in November.
