NOTICE OF PUBLIC COMMENT PERIOD Proposed Health Insurance Rates for 2019 The Commissioner of Securities and Insurance will receive public comment regarding recently filed rates by Montana health insurers. The comment period provides the public the opportunity to participate in government by expressing any comments that the public may have regarding the proposed 2019 rate changes for health insurance. Information on the proposed 2019 Montana Health Insurance rates can be found on the CSI website, www.csimt.gov. Comments can be emailed to csipubliccomment@mt.gov or by letter/hand-delivery to 840 Helena Ave, Helena, MT 59602 through July 27, 2018. The rate review process established by the Montana Legislature in 2013 authorizes the office of the Insurance Commissioner to review health insurance rates. If the Commissioner finds a rate increase to be excessive, inadequate, unfairly discriminatory, or unjustified, the insurer may voluntarily amend the rate increase. If the insurer maintains the initially filed rate over the Commissioner's recommendation for adjustment, the Commissioner will issue a public finding announcing the deficiency and the reasons why the rates are unsatisfactory.
