AHIP Announces 'Major Restructuring' During Precarious Time For Insurance Industry

It is health insurance lobby's first significant overhaul since 2003. Media outlets also report on insurer news from Minnesota and Ohio.

The top health insurance lobby on Tuesday announced an overhaul of its membership fees, less than one year after losing two of its biggest members. America鈥檚 Health Insurer鈥檚 Plans approved the first 鈥渕ajor restructuring鈥 since 2003, the group wrote at the bottom of a statement announcing its new chairmen. ... The powerful lobby, which worked closely on ObamaCare, has seen seen as losing clout. Over the last year, AHIP lost both UnitedHealth Group, the nation鈥檚 largest insurer, and Aetna, the second-largest. (Ferris, 6/7)

Minnesota鈥檚 market for individuals and families to buy private health insurance has fallen far short of enrollment projections, and actually got smaller between December and March. Both factors were highlighted by a report Tuesday from the trade group for Minnesota health insurers, and they add to concerns that premiums could be on the rise again next year. (Snowbeck 6/7)

As HealthSpan winds down its business, MetroHealth and Medical Mutual Insurance of Ohio are picking up the pieces to create a new insurance product they say will cut premium costs by 15 percent. (Ross, 6/6)
