The decision came following intense negotiations between Empire Blue Cross and state regulators which resulted in EMpire not being able to set their rates based on their own actuarial analysis and anticipation of higher medical claims in the state. This decision will force many small businesses in the Hudson Valley region to find a new health insurer even if they have recently renewed. Going forward, Empire Blue Cross will focus on the Mid and Large Group health insurance market which is based on experience rating and not community rating.     • Email to a friend • Article Search • • More Recent Articles Medicare Open Enrollment Extension for Some Retirees Sue New York Over Health Insurance Rates Florida Health Choices Program California Uninsured Blue To You by Horizon BCBS
