The insurance companies reserve the right to change rates. They report "coverage experience" (or the number and size of claims made) annually and, if applicable, rate action recommendations. Using this information, the Program Administrator works with APSIT to evaluate the recommendations and decide what, if any, action (i.e. a rate action, a change in benefits, or even a change in insurance companies) is appropriate to maintain each policy's financial stability and competitive status. APSIT ultimately approves the action, and insured participants are advised of their decision prior to implementation.
