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 Anthem Blue Cross Life and Health Insurance Company, Inc. spent premium dollars across its entire California 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.
