Independence Assurance Company
In GRAND TOTAL, over the three-year window through 2024, Independence Assurance Company spent 77.4% of small group premiums on care, and 83.8% of large group premiums on care (its Medical Loss Ratio). Because that fell below the floor in some markets, it must rebate the shortfall to its 2024 policyholders — $30,255,539 in all.
Where each premium dollar went
The filled bar is the share of premiums spent on medical care + quality improvement — the three-year Medical Loss Ratio. The marker is the legal floor for that market (80% individual & small group, 85% large group). Below the floor, the insurer rebates the shortfall (floor − MLR), applied to that year's premium.

What this is — and is not
This is how Independence Assurance Company spent premium dollars across its entire GRAND TOTAL book in each market — it is not a measure of a specific plan's quality, your denial odds, or whether the insurer is right for you, and it is not advice. A rebate, if owed, is a rule-based payment to policyholders (a check or premium credit) the following year. To compare plans, check eligibility, and enroll, go to HealthCare.gov.
