Health Insurance Rate Rise Slows, Survey Finds

Early results of two consulting firms' health care insurance rate surveys forecast that 2007 will see lower premium increases in recent years.

A preliminary survey by Milliman Inc., Seattle, estimates January renewal increases averaging 9.7% for health maintenance organizations, almost 1% lower than last year's result of 10.6%.

Results for preferred provider organizations show an anticipated 2007 renewal rate increase of 10.7%, 1% lower than last year.
