Insurance Rebates Seen as Early Benefit of Health Care Law
The New York Times; subscription may be required July 31, 2012
"Although the percentage of insurance companies that owe rebates this year is relatively small, about 14 percent, many giants of the industry are on the list. They include Aetna, Cigna, Humana and UnitedHealthcare.... Self-insured employers, which cover more than half the nation's workers, are exempt from the new rule, as are Medicare and Medicaid. And of the 75 million people in health plans subject to the rule, only about 17 percent, or 12.8 million, will get rebates this year ... Many who buy coverage directly from insurers ... are receiving checks. But in most cases rebates are being sent to employers, who can chose to put them toward future premium costs instead of distributing them to workers."
