Plan Design Committee flags nearly 12% renewal, expects another double-digit increase
Summary
Commission members were told the health plan experienced an almost 12% renewal rate for July 1, 2025 and the Plan Design Committee anticipates another double-digit (~12%) increase; members raised concerns about account clarity and requested Lockton's report.
Commission members discussed significant renewal pressure on the State health plan. The Plan Design Committee reported "an almost 12% renewal rate for July 1, 2025" and noted that for the coming year "the plan faces another double digit increase, around 12%." Management Member Frank Wiltuck raised concerns about insufficient clarity in health-plan accounts that affect design choices; staff said Lockton is preparing a report to address those data questions and that the Commissioner has been informed.
Members discussed next steps, including a meeting with the General Government Service Center to review account clarity and the Plan Design Committee meeting scheduled for Jan. 16, 2026. The commission filled one committee vacancy (Labor Member Michael Frost) and noted additional vacancies remain.
