Having an insurance company that’s in good financial shape is important. You know your claims will be paid in a timely manner because the resources are there.
Noridian Mutual Insurance Company — which does business as BCBSND received an A-minus with a “stable” outlook rating from Standard & Poor’s (S&P*). It’s the fourth straight year that we’ve received this score.
S&P noted that our expense ratio of 8.2 percent is well below our peers’ average of 14.1 percent. And our medical loss ratio of 89.2 percent also beats the industry average of 87 percent. (Medical loss ratio measures the percentage of member premiums we use to pay your medical claims).
It’s important for us to be good stewards of our members’ premiums. We’re investing in programs and services that help us continue to cut costs and deliver affordable products to our members.
*S&P is an internationally recognized authority on the claims-paying ability of nearly all insurance companies.

When I initially commented I appear to have clicked on the -Notify me
when new comments are added- checkbox and from now on every
time a comment is added I get 4 emails with the exact same
comment. Is there a way you are able to remove me from that service?
Thanks!
I’m sorry but we don’t have control over those settings. You should try going to settings and notifications on your account and unclicking where it asks if you want to receive e-mail updates whenever new comments are added to a blog that you commented on. Thanks.
