Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield in Maine recently filed a request with the Maine Bureau of Insurance (Bureau) to approve rate changes for our Individual health plans, effective January 1, 2026. The average proposed rate change is 25%, but Individual plan changes range from 10% to 30% depending on members’ age, residence location, and type of plan.
We’ll mail this notice of rate filing letter to members in July. It includes information about why rates are changing and how they can provide feedback directly to the Bureau.
The notice refers members to anthem.com/ms/maineratefiling/home.html for 2026 plan and proposed rate details.
Once the Bureau has completed its review and the 2026 rates are final, we’ll notify members about the approved changes before their next renewal.
Please contact your Anthem sales representative for more information.
