Have you recently received a letter from your health insurance company about a rate increase for next year? Don’t panic! This is only a proposed rate increase that must be reviewed by state officials, and you have the right to weigh in on whether it should be approved or not.

Use this sample letter to submit comments about your insurance plan’s rate increase request to New York’s Department of Financial Services. After editing the letter with your information, you can copy and paste it to be submitted here.
