How much insurers paid in MLR rebates this year, by state

Nationwide, health insurers have paid about $2.5 billion in premium rebates to members under the ACA's medical loss ratio requirement, according to data from CMS.

The ACA requires health insurers to spend at least 80-85 percent of the revenue they get from premiums on medical care. If a health insurer doesn't meet the medical loss ratio requirement, they have to send rebates to their members.

Roughly 11.2 million Americans are eligible for rebates this year. The rebates average about $219 per person. The rebates are across individual, small group and large group markets.
