The Division of Insurance re-negotiated lower rates with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts HMO Blue, INC., Harvard Pilgrim Health Care, Health New England, Mass General Brigham Health Plan, Tufts Health Public Plans, United Healthcare and WellSense Health Plan. Commissioner Michael Caljouw also rejected Fallon Community Health Plan’s proposed 25.7% rate increase for being excessive and inconsistent with his responsibility to Massachusetts consumers and businesses. “Massachusetts residents and businesses are already struggling with the high cost of health care. Nobody can afford massive increases in their health insurance premiums on top of that,” said Governor Healey. As a result, Commissioner Caljouw was able to initially save residents and businesses $54 million in 2026 by re-negotiating rate increases.
