I'm wondering what people are seeing from Humana for PPO plan increases. A client of 70 employees just received a TRIPLE DIGIT increase with no justification or backup.
Humana doesn't do business in Oregon so I'm not familiar with them.

Mike,

In the last year in Colorado, the Humana PPO increases have been high, but I have not seen 3 digits, thank God. In the 2 to 50 size, we have seen 20% to 55%, depending on location. In the 50 to 100 size, they seem to be all over the board. Last June I had a group of 80 renew with a 2.2% increase but another in August at 27%.

When we have looked at other PPO plans, the market shows their rates compare favorably.
