    An Idaho Hospital and Its Insurer Made a Deal - The State Legislature Decided That Wasn't Enough » Live Insurance News (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The dispute between Portneuf Regional Medical Center and Regence BlueShield of Idaho is over. Patients are back in network. The contract runs through 2029. By most measures, the story ended in August. Except it didn’t. The fallout from two months of east Idaho residents losing in-network access to their largest hospital is still running — in the form of a state legislative task force that is now investigating insurer practices across all of Idaho, not just in Pocatello. (Idaho Capital Sun, Augus

    New York's Auto Insurance Rule Would Flip the System — Approval Before Billing, Not After » Live Insurance News (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    In most of the country, your auto insurer can raise your rate and start charging it before anyone in state government has signed off on the math. New York is about to change that — at least for auto insurance — and the window for public comment closes November 9.

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Home insurance costs in Colorado have risen 101 percent since 2020. No other state in the country comes close to that number. The average Colorado homeowner now pays $4,310 a year — 80 percent above the national average — and rates climbed another 18.3 percent in 2025 alone, the steepest single-year jump in the nation. The premium increase is the visible part of the problem. The part that catches Colorado homeowners off guard tends to show up later. Philip Mulder, a researcher at the University

    An Algorithm May Be Deciding Your Health Insurance Claims in Utah — and Starting January 1, Insurers Have to Tell You » Live Insurance News (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Before your doctor’s recommended treatment can move forward, your health insurance company may need to approve it first. That process is called prior authorization, and for millions of Americans it is the most frustrating part of having insurance at all. What most people do not know is that in many cases, the first review of that request is not being done by a doctor. It is being done by an AI system — software trained on population-level data that compares your case against patterns from thousa

    The Part of Your Homeowners Policy You Have Never Looked At — California Wildfire Survivors Are Looking at It Now » Live Insurance News (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    When a wildfire destroys a home, most people understand what comes next. File the claim. Find temporary housing. Wait for the rebuild. The insurance pays for living somewhere else while that happens. What most homeowners do not know — until they are living it — is that the money paying for that hotel room or rental house has a limit. And in California’s rental market, where a three-bedroom apartment in the Pasadena area can run $5,000 per month or more, that limit runs out faster than most polic
