About $1.2 billion of the sum comes from about 4.8 million individual market consumers, while the remaining pot was awarded to 5 million small and large group members, according to a Dec. 17 news release. 

Payers are required to reimburse individual and small group market members if they spend less than 80 percent of after-tax premiums on member medical claims. The threshold jumps to 85 percent for large group members. 

The news came alongside a Dec. 17 list of insurers who owed medical loss ratio premium rebates for 2020. Health Care Service Corporation’s Texas arm topped the list with nearly $199 million in payouts.
