HMO rates could spike in Georgia

A new report predicts big rate hikes for southeasterners who belong to Health Maintenance Organizations – or HMO’s. The Atlanta Business Chronicle says an analysis from Hewitt Associates predicts HMO premium rates to rise next year to their highest levels in four years. Rates could go up 18% in the southeast. That’s compared to 11% at this time last year. Premium rates could also go up 18% in the Midwest.
