Rate Review Grants

The Health Insurance Premium Rate Review (HIPRR) Division of the Arkansas Insurance Department (AID) was created under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) to protect consumers and employers from unreasonable health insurance premium rate increases.

HIPPR is federally funded through U.S. Department of Health and Human Services grants. In 2010, DHHS awarded AID a $1 million grant and a $3.8 million grant in 2011. These grant funds are being used to expand and enhance Arkansas’ process for rate review and to bring greater transparency and openness to the premium rate review process while directly involving the consumer. These steps will provide Arkansas consumers who buy insurance with greater value for their premium dollar.
