Iowa’s Insurance Commissioner Susan Voss announced that she has made arrangements for unprecedented access to a Jan. 6, 2011, hearing that will be held at the Iowa Insurance Division, 330 Maple Street, Des Moines, Iowa.
The topic of the hearing is the rate increase request from Wellmark filed with the Division for individual policies sold in Iowa, which will increase by an average of approximately 11 percent on April 1, 2011, if the request is approved.
The Insurance Division has worked with contacts to provide remote teleconferencing locations throughout Iowa during the hearing. The teleconferencing of the hearing, which will physically occur in the Insurance Division’s Des Moines office building, will enable the public to hear any presentations or statements made during the hearing remotely from select locations, as well as provide an opportunity for consumers to make statements to the Commissioner during the public comment period.
Each remote site will provide speakerphone access to the meeting for anyone wishing to voice their comments or for anyone just wanting to listen to the process.
