Consumers who purchased coverage through the exchange marketplace are expected to receive an average of $299 each this fall.

The rebates are a result of payers falling short of the ACA’s medical loss ratio threshold in 2020 — which requires insurers to spend at least 80 percent of premium revenues on healthcare claims — while customers continued to pay premiums, the article said.
